The Atlanta Braves relied on one of their best players to help even out the NLDS series between the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday Night at Truist Park.
After some late-inning offensive plays, the Braves got a 5-4 lead with just the top of the ninth possibly to go against the Phillies.
On a blast of a Nick Castellanos hit, center fielder Michael Harris II made a spectacular leaping catch and double play to get the Braves the last two outs to close things out in dramatic fashion.
It was a clip of Harris’s jubilant reaction from earlier in the game that summed up everything that had just happened as he sealed Atlanta’s first postseason win of 2023.

Seriously, that will get you as fired up (unless you’re a Phillies fan… or a fan of any other team that doesn’t like the Braves).
Harris made the play of a lifetime, and his reaction after that home run earlier just cements what a special night this was for him and Atlanta.
