In Game 161, Atlanta Braves Lay Down First Sacrifice Bunt of Season

The Atlanta Braves were two games away from being the first team to ever go a full season without attempting a sacrifice bunt, until Tuesday night.

With the Braves leading 1-0 over the Miami Marlins and runners on first and second, with nobody out in the top of the fourth inning, Michael Harris II laid down the Braves' first sacrifice bunt of the 2022 Major League Baseball season.

Harris was thrown out at first, but the sacrifice was successful, advancing designated hitter William Contreras to third base and second baseman Orlando Arcia to second base.

Harris, the Braves' number eight hitter, sacrificed to put runners on second and third for nine hitter Robbie Grossman.
