Nunez bails out Posey with epic running catch

San Francisco Giants third baseman Eduardo Nunez may have made the defensive play of the year when he used his cat-like instincts to save his teammate Buster Posey from an embarrassing error.

After Posey lost a pop-up in foul territory behind home plate on Saturday night against the San Diego Padres, Nunez quickly bolted in from third to to make an amazing grab.

Nunez "gracefully" flipped himself into the protective screen behind home plate to end the impressive, highlight-reel play.
