Albert Almora Jr. was all over the Coors Field outfield

Coors Field is 415 feet in dead center. That makes it one of the biggest outfields in the majors.

Albert Almora Jr. was busy covering a ton of that big outfield in a three-game series. A day after immitating Willie Mays, Almora made a trio of tough catches in Sunday's series finale.

In the first inning he tracked to his right and leaped to make a grab to rob Nolan Arenado of extra bases and an RBI. The next inning he robbed Noel Cuevas in a near carbon copy of the previous catch.

In the ninth, Charlie Blackman hit a ball deep into the gap, but Almora showed his range by getting to the ball just a few steps before the wall. He made the catch part look easy, even if crashing into the wall wasn't his most graceful moment.

That play ended up being huge considering the tight finish in the ninth inning. The Rockies had the bases loaded before Arenado was tagged out at home following a wild pitch. Arenado was originally called safe, but was called out after the umps looked on replay. Had Blackman reached to lead off the inning, the 9-7 final could have been very different.
