#5: Ross throws out three Brewers

It may not have been the biggest game of the year, however, David Ross came up big. On May 18, 2016, the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers were locked into a close came. The Brewers staked to a 1-0 lead and threatened to score more in the bottom of the fourth inning. But not with David Ross behind the plate.

With John Lackey pitching, Ross noticed Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy stretching a lead off second base. While not the greatest throw in the world, but Ross picked the napping Lucroy off for out number three.

Two more runners, Scooter Gennett and Jonathan Villar, attempted to steal second base in the sixth and eighth innings, respectively. Both ended the innings after Ross threw them out. Eventually, the Cubs won the game 2-1 in 13 innings.
