Jayson Werth makes a leaping catch to rob Daniel Descalso of a home run.

Washington Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth made a great catch at the wall, robbing Cardinals' Dainel Descalso of a two-run home run in the sixth inning.

The glare from the sun made the degree of the catch a lot more difficult to make.

It was very similar to the one made by Atlanta Braves' Jason Heyward's in the National League wild card game.

Worth came down with the ball and immediately threw it to first hoping to catch David Freeze in no mans land.

The Nationals were trailing the Cardinals 2-1 at the time, keeping them in the ballgame with nine outs to go.
