MLB fans applaud Twitter account as mashup of Zach McKinstry's outstanding catch and renowned "The Murder of Caesar artwork" goes viral

Zach McKinstry assisted the Detroit Tigers to eventually end their losing run and prevent a sweep against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Comerica Park.

Though the Diamondbacks took a 7-5 lead, the game's highlight came from McKinstry, who had already hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning, when he dove on the warning track in right field, close to the foul pole, to grab Christian Walker's flyball and finish the inning.

"Best catch you'll see today and we aren't McKidding" - Detroit Tigers

But fans instantly grabbed the opportunity, and the Twitter account ArtButMakeItSports compared McKinstry's great catch to the famous The Murder of Caesar painting by Karl von Piloty.

No June victory for the Detroit Tigers

One strike separated the Detroit Tigers from their first victory of the month of June. Instead, on Sunday at Comerica Park, the Diamondbacks rallied for four runs to defeat the Tigers 7-5 and complete a three-game sweep. The Tigers are on a 9-game losing streak, their longest since 2020.
