Profar placed his glove over the barricade and among the hands of several fans before securing the ball. Profar appeared to downplay the catch initially, even fooling the Fox Sports 1 broadcast that displayed its home run graphics on the screen and a note that stated it was Betts' first home run of the postseason.
