Will need to have been an omen.

Atlanta Braves nearer Mark Melancon threw a warmup pitch within the bullpen to arrange for the ninth inning in opposition to the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday within the Nationwide League Championship Sequence.

Then he appeared up on the sky and caught a lead-expanding two-run homer hit by teammate Ozzie Albies. The reduction pitcher didn’t even have to maneuver off the bullpen mound.

“Each nearer needs to be known as into the sport by a man hitting a homer to them whereas they’re warming up,” MLB.com reporter Matt Monagan tweeted.

Melancon later posted a viral clip of the second and quoted an outdated John Fogerty music: “Have a look at me, I will be, centerfield!”

The great vibes continued. Melancon retired the Dodgers so as within the backside of the ninth inning to safe the Braves’ 5-1 victory and a 1-Zero lead within the sequence.

The sequence, being performed on the Texas Rangers’ stadium in Arlington, Texas, resumes Tuesday.
