MILWAUKEE -- Since being promoted from Triple-A New Orleans on May 11, Harold Ramirez has impressed with his bat. So much so that manager Don Mattingly repeatedly mentions the addition of the 24-year-old outfielder as part of why the Marlins have vastly improved the past few weeks.

On Wednesday, a day Ramirez went hitless in five at-bats, he still made a major contribution by robbing a potential home run by Lorenzo Cain. It was an early momentum-swinging moment in the Marlins’ 8-3 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park.

Off the bat, Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara thought Cain had got him.

“I threw a fastball right in the middle, and I see he hit it hard,” Alcantara said. “I thought that was a homer. I see Harold Ramirez field the ball. He jumped, and said, 'I got it!' I feel happy for him. That was a great play.”

The leaping catch at the wall in right field to take away a potential home run kept Miami in front by a run.

“I really just wanted to catch the ball,” Ramirez said. “I looked back, and I saw the wall close to me. I just jumped and I got it.”

Cain drove a 95.6-mph fastball from Alcantara to deep right field. It had plenty of height, which allowed Ramirez to get to the wall. He timed it just right, and made a jumping play, saving a run.

According to Statcast, the Expected Batting Average on the ball Cain put in play was .610. The exit velocity was 99.9 mph, and the projected distance was 358 feet.

After Ramirez made the play, Cain took his helmet off in disgust as he rounded first base.

“It was a big play,” Ramirez said. “I saw Lorenzo Cain was mad. But he does that to a lot of players.”
