Cedric Mullins made a marvelous defensive play during Saturday's matchup between the Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies.

Going into the game, the Orioles haven't been in solid form, losing their last three series against the Miami Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians. They even lost 6-5 in their opener against the Rockies, not giving them the start they needed against one of the worst teams in the league.

This placed a lot of motivation on Mullins and Baltimore to step up in Game 2. They pulled it off in convincing fashion, which even resulted a great play from Mullins in the third inning.

Following a hit from the Rockies, Mullins saw the ball go in his direction as he got ready to catch it. If he didn't make the catch, it would've been a double that could've given momentum to Colorado, which Mullins made sure to deny the opportunity.
