Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot is having quite a day in Game 2 of the team's ALCS matchup with the Houston Astros.
Margot hit a three-run homer to give the Rays the lead in the bottom of the first. He would again take center stage in the next inning with Astros center fielder George Springer at the plate.
Springer lofted one towards the right-field corner. Margot tracked the ball up towards the wall in foul territory, leaping and flipping over the wall after making the catch for the Rays, who are trying to go up two games in the series. They won Game 1 Sunday night.

Luckily, Margot seemed to be in good shape after falling to the ground. Margot was looked at by the trainers, but stayed in the game for the Rays.
It was an exceptional play, and an important one as well: The Astros were threatening with runners on second and third and two outs in the inning.
Margot is having a tremendous postseason for the Rays. He hit just one homer during the regular season, but already has three in the 2020 playoffs. Of course, the glove work is on full display, as well.
