In all likelihood, the Atlanta Braves will have the top two (and possibly three!) finishers in National League Rookie of the Year voting. And on Sunday, the presumed favorite went to extraordinary lengths to help his fellow rookie star.
Braves rookie pitcher Spencer Strider took a no-hitter into the sixth inning against the Phillies, and in the same game, he became the fastest-ever pitcher to record 200 strikeouts (129.2 innings). That no-hit bid would end both due to pitch count and Alec Bohm’s solo home run, but man, Michael Harris II really did just about everything he could to keep that no-no alive.
