Murphy flashes Cespedes sly smile after tricky play

MLB.com

Daniel Murphy was not only hitting home runs against his former club on Thursday, but he was trying to outfox them with some tricky defense as well.

Murphy tried to deke out Yoenis Cespedes with a fake catch in the second inning, which initially fooled the New York Mets slugger into heading back to first base.

After the fake move, Murphy flashed a mischievous smile at his former teammate who stood on second base, although the normally playful Cespedes didn't respond in kind.
