Watch Michael Harris II homer ignite Atlanta by giving Braves early lead vs. Phillies

During the opening frame of the third contest in their National League wild card series, the Atlanta squad seized an early advantage against their divisional rivals. Center fielder Michael Harris II connected with a low offering from the opposing starting pitcher, driving a three-run blast deep into right field.

The powerful swing brought home two teammates who had previously drawn walks, putting the home side ahead by three runs. The star hitter later mentioned during an in-game interview that he simply aimed to drive the pitch out despite its low location.

This postseason matchup follows an even series split, with the triumphant side advancing to face the Los Angeles Dodgers.
