The Atlanta Braves finally saw their bats come alive late in Game 2 of the NLDS with the Philadelphia Phillies, but it’d be center fielder Michael Harris II who would cement the series equalizer.
On a Nick Castellanos bomb to the back of the diamond for Philadelphia, Harris made an incredible snag to keep the ball in play and get the second out of the ninth inning.
He also made a heads-up throw to the bases to get the Braves in position to get Bryce Harper out to close things out in the top of the ninth, which they did in style.
Harris’ spectacular play helped give Atlanta a 1-1 serie tie with Philadelphia before the series heads up to Citizens Bank Park for two games.

This is the kind of play that has turned Harris into one of the game’s best players, and it proved huge for Atlanta to close out a game it desperately needed to win.
