All right, maybe this ball hits the top of the wall, but it sure did look like Albert Almora Jr. just robbed a game-tying home run against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Gotta love it. His first start in center field for the Chicago Cubs this season and Almora shows off why he’s going to be a gold glover. Ridiculous catch by the 23-year-old.
Bravo.

That kept the Cubs ahead 2-1 on an amazing catch.
Robbery confirmed.
Albert Almora: 1st career HR robbery per @FieldingBible
Cubs didn't have a HR robbery last season
