Steven Souza Made an Amazing Catch to Save Jordan Zimmermann's No-Hitter Vs Marlins


Washington Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann needed a little help from his defense to get the final out of his no-hitter. Miami Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich lined Zimmermann's 104th and final pitch to the left-center gap in the outfield, but Nationals left fielder Steven Souza Jr. was there to make an incredible diving catch to save the first no-no in Nats history. On Sunday, Souza made a great diving catch on the final play of the game to finish off Zimmermann's no-hitter against the Miami Marlins. Miami's Christian Yelich hit the ball hard to left-center field, and it looked like Zimmerman may lose his no-hit bid with one out to go. Luckily, Souza saved the day. Ninth-inning defensive replacement Steven Souza made an amazing, diving catch to save the day and preserve the the Nationals first no-hitter since moving to Washington in 2005. Souza, making only his sixth Major League appearance, had replaced Ryan Zimmerman.Steven Souza -- a defensive replacement in left field -- laid out for the final catch of the game.
