In a thrilling Game 2 of the NLDS between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park, Michael Harris II played the hero for the Braves in a game-ending double play that denied the Phillies a potential game-changing hit.

The Phillies had a promising start, leading through 4 1/2 innings, with Zack Wheeler delivering a dominant performance. However, the Braves staged a comeback, fueled by Austin Riley’s two-out, two-run homer in the eighth innings that turned the tide in Atlanta’s favor, making it a 5-4 game.

As the game reached its climax, Nick Castellanos of the Phillies launched a deep fly ball to center field, seemingly on its way to becoming a game-leading home run. Enter Michael Harris II, who made an extraordinary leaping grab against the right-center-field wall.

Harris not only prevented Castellanos from completing a potential game-changing home run but also displayed incredible awareness and precision by throwing to first base to double up Bryce Harper.
