VIDEO: Starling Marte saves the game for Pirates with incredible diving catch

Starling Marte played hero for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, but he didn't do it with his bat.

Instead, with two on and two out in a one-run game against the Cincinnati Reds, Marte absolutely robbed outfielder Marlon Byrd of a hit with a miraculous diving catch.

The Pirates currently lead the National League wild-card race with a 60-42 mark, 5 1/2 games up on the Chicago Cubs, meaning Marte's play could pay serious dividends for the franchise down the road.
