Brewers rookie Luis Lara already has a reputation for making spectacular catches at the wall
Luis Lara has made several leaping wall catches in his first two months in the majors, helping Milwaukee protect close leads and win tight games.
- On Monday, Milwaukee Brewers rookie right fielder Luis Lara made a critical catch, preserving a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs and extending the team's NL Central lead to eight games.
- The Brewers signed the 21-year-old to a seven-year, $31 million contract while he was in the minors, where he won a Gold Glove as one of the top defensive outfielders last year.
- Lara has produced defensive highlights throughout his 49-game major league career, including a catch on Aug. 9 in the 10th inning against Minnesota and another on Aug. 21 against the Atlanta Braves.
- Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy praised Lara's ability to handle adversity, while closer Trevor Megill said the rookie does it "every single day on defense."
- Lara's emergence provides defensive flexibility for Milwaukee, as the team closed Monday's game with three outfielders capable of playing center: Garrett Mitchell, Jackson Chourio, and veteran Sal Frelick.
