The Washington Nationals and Boston Red Sox are underway on this lovely spring Monday at Fenway Park, and the game has effectively turned into the Mookie Betts Show.
The Red Sox outfielder notched his first SportsCenter moment of the game after snagging a high Bryce Harper shot destined to drop in into Boston's bullpen. Betts leaped, snatched Harper's would-be homer and held on to the ball as he hit the padded wall.
It was a huge catch by the outfielder, and Betts continues to ring up the magic at Boston's home opener. He stole two bases on one play thanks to a botched tag at second.
Betts also blasted a three-run homer in the second.
The Red Sox lead Washington 8-5 in the bottom of the fifth.
