MIAMI — Michael Harris is only 21 years old, but he treats the biggest, most important situations like he has experienced them many times. With the game on the line, he keeps a slow heartbeat, always able to show up when it matters most. He has done this time and again during a sensational rookie season.
On the first pitch of the ninth inning – Tanner Scott’s 99 mph fastball right down the middle – Harris crushed a game-tying home run.
After the home run, the Braves put together a rally to score the go-ahead run, steal a victory and sweep the Marlins in the four-game series with a 3-1 win Sunday at loanDepot Park. The win helped Atlanta (70-46), which has won six in a row, continue keeping pace with the Mets, who are at Truist Park for four games beginning Monday.
