San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar denied Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers of the opportunity to tie the game with a catch in left field during Game 2 of the National League Division Series .

Betts appeared to even the score at one in the bottom of the first inning with a home run but Profar stepped in.

Profar placed his glove over the barricade and among the hands of several fans before securing the ball. Profar appeared to downplay the catch initially, even fooling the Fox Sports 1 broadcast that displayed its home run graphics on the screen and a note that stated it was Betts' first home run of the postseason.

It was more than that.He held the ball for 10 secs like he didn't catch it and talked crapped to the fans.He got paid back in the 8th when fans started throwing stuff at him. He will fit right in with the Padres. Manny has the biggest mouth of all MLB & Tatis has to pause before 3rd base on every HR he hits. Most of the team has no sportsmanship. Maybe Profar will get beaned on Weds nite.
