Watch: Cat climbs outfield wall of Marlins Park
A cat somehow made it into the outfield of Marlins Park during Tuesday night's game between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves.
How the cat made it into the stadium is still a mystery, though some fans seem to be dubbing the feline as the "Rally Cat." In the at-bat immediately following the delay, Freddie Freeman singled to left field and was cashed in two hitters later by Adonis Garcia to cut the Marlins lead to 8-4.
Have just been informed that if a Marlin hits another HR, they will not turn on the Home Run Sculpture out of safety for the cat.

For what it's worth, cats are likely a better competitor against a team whose mascot is a fish than whatever a "Brave" is. Perhaps Atlanta can appropriate a new mascot, in the off chance it can complete the come back from their four-run deficit.
