Harris’ three hits help Braves edge Dodgers despite two homers
Michael Harris II went 3-for-5 as Atlanta beat Los Angeles 3–2, despite home runs from Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy.
Two Dodgers hit home runs. Atlanta still had the extra run that mattered. Michael Harris II supplied three hits and an RBI in the Braves’ 3–2 win over Los Angeles on October 4, 2026, in the MLB postseason. His 3-for-5 line was a different kind of contribution from the power on the other side.
Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI and a run scored for Los Angeles. Max Muncy also homered, finishing 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run. Each produced a run with his bat, but the Dodgers’ total stopped at two. Miguel Rojas added a hit in his only at-bat.
Harris scored once as well as driving in a run. Mauricio Dubon gave Atlanta another RBI in a 1-for-3 game and drew a walk. Matt Olson went 1-for-4, walked once and scored a run. Those contributions accompanied a three-run total that was enough for a one-run win.
The pitching lines offered another contrast: Didier Fuentes allowed one hit and one earned run over 3 2/3 innings for Atlanta, striking out three without issuing a walk. Blake Snell also worked 3 2/3 innings for Los Angeles and allowed one earned run, but gave up three hits and five walks while striking out five.
Ray Kerr recorded four strikeouts across 2 2/3 innings for the Braves, allowing two hits and a walk without an earned run. Roki Sasaki allowed no hits or earned runs over two innings for the Dodgers, with one strikeout and two walks. Atlanta finished with the narrow advantage on the scoreboard despite Los Angeles’ two homers.
