MLB playoffs 2023: Braves' bats wake up, Michael Harris II delivers defensive play of night as Atlanta rallies for NLDS Game 2 win vs. Phillies

Through the first five innings, Game 2 of this NLDS closely resembled Game 1, as the Braves’ bats were silenced by Philly starter Zack Wheeler and the Phillies’ hitters came out swinging.

It didn't stay that way, though, as the Braves came roaring back to take a 5-4 victory and earn a 1-1 series split in the best-of-five NLDS.
