Padres’ Jurickson Profar robs Mookie Betts of home run, stuns Dodgers fans

San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar stunned Los Angeles Dodgers fans in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday night.

Mookie Betts hit a long drive to left field off Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish. Profar tracked the ball to the short fence in the corner of Dodger Stadium. Profar jumped and caught the ball in front of about a half-dozen fans reaching for the supposed home run ball.

Profar came down with the ball but did not immediately show it to the referees. Instead, he talked some nonsense to the fans he stole the ball from. One man even gave the Padres player some pointers for his incredible catch.

“That’s been one of my desires the whole time,” he told FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal in a mid-game interview, “I want to steal a home run. And I did that in a playoff game. It was great.”

The Padres were looking to even the series after losing Game 1 to the Dodgers 7-5 on Saturday night.
