The long ball played a big part in the Atlanta Braves’ 5-2 win Friday night over the Mets and they will be looking for more of the same Saturday.
Michael Harris slots back into the third spot in the order for the Braves Saturday. Harris is finishing the season strong hitting .324/.343/.569 with a 151 wRC+ in 26 games since September 1.
The Braves entered this series needing its middle of the order combination of Dansby Swanson, Austin Riley and Matt Olson to get going. All three homered Friday night against Jacob deGrom.
