Braves hit 3 homers, including 3-run shot by Harris, and beat Phillies 6-2 to win Wild Card Series

The Atlanta Braves secured a 6-2 postseason victory over the Philadelphia Phillies to capture the National League Wild Card Series in a deciding third game. Michael Harris II sparked the offense early with a three-run home run in the opening frame, while Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson added later blasts to power the club into a Division Series matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

On the mound, surprise starting pitcher Ray Kerr delivered three and a third scoreless innings before relief appearances from Grant Holmes and Chris Sale helped preserve the elimination-game triumph.
