Adam Engel channels Dewayne Wise with his latest home-run robbery

Share

Adam Engel's home-run robberies are becoming a nightly occurrence on the South Side.

One night after he took a homer away from the New York Yankees' Greg Bird, Engel once more made a spectacular leaping grab at the wall, this time stealing a dinger from Kyle Higashioka.

Take a look at Engel's latest act of thievery:

This one, though, had a little more drama to it — and brought back memories of Dewayne Wise.

Engel's fifth-inning catch Tuesday night preserved the no-hit bid being crafted by Reynaldo Lopez, not unlike how Wise's catch back in 2009 kept Mark Buehrle's perfect game alive.

And, Engel made his catch in the same spot, which is now immortalized by the words "The Catch" on the wall in center field.

Lopez lost his no-hit bid the following inning, but a pretty cool coincidence and a pretty fantastic catch by Engel ... again.

The biggest fan of the grab? Lopez.

"I just wanted to take off my glove," the pitcher said through a team translator after the game, "and go out there and kiss him."
