In this story:

In the second inning of Saturday night's contest between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most incredible plays of the season happened. 

Tied 0-0, the Dodgers had a man on base and former Cub Jason Heyward came to the plate. Heyward put a great swing on a Jameson Taillon offspeed pitch and hit it to dead center field. 

A clear home run.

Except what should have been a two-run home run for the lead, ended up being the first out of the inning for Los Angeles. 

Center fielder Cody Bellinger made a leaping catch to rob Heyward's home run from over the fence to keep it scoreless. 

Bellinger read the ball all the way and made a beautiful play to preserve the tie. 

A former Dodger himself, Bellinger received some heckling from the fans in the stand after the play. 

Give the incredible play a look for yourself.
