Flores snags pop-up backhanded while slamming into tarp

MLB.com

No tarp is going to stand in Wilmer Flores' way.

The New York Mets third baseman had to battle both the tarp and the glaring sun, the latter forcing him to change position on the fly as he chased down Ender Inciarte's foul pop Sunday. Flores adjusted perfectly and made a spectacular backhanded catch as he fell into and behind Citi Field's tarp to record the out.
