Monday night, the Reds beat the Braves on the strength of back-to-back-to-back homers from pitcher Mike Leake, shortstop Zack Cozart and center fielder Drew Stubbs in the fourth inning.
Here's the video:
Now, take note of the fact that Leake and Cozart hit their respective shots in nearly the same spot. And after the initial leftward kick of Cozart's homer, it ended up in the hands of Caleb Lloyd. This is notable because Lloyd also caught Leake's homer. That's right, the exact same fan came away with two home run balls on consecutive at-bats.
The Reds have issued a press release noting that Lloyd, a college student, will be the honorary captain for the Reds Tuesday night. He'll participate in the pre-game lineup card exchange at home plate with the umpires and managers.
