Michael Harris II’s 2-run double lifts the Braves past the Rockies 2-1 for sixth straight win
Michael Harris II’s clutch hit backed 2 1/3 scoreless innings from Brent Suter and gave Atlanta its sixth straight victory.
On Saturday, Michael Harris hit a two-out, two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, marking the team's sixth straight win.
Colorado's Ryan Feltner was scratched due to illness, prompting Zach Agnos to start in his place. Agnos pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings, fanning five straight batters before allowing a double.
Brent Suter earned his first victory since joining the Braves at the trade deadline, pitching 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Martin Perez struck out six across 5 2/3 frames.
Rookie Didier Fuentes sealed his third save by retiring Jake McCarthy to end the game. The victory reinforces the Braves' position as National League East leaders.
The contest featured multiple delays: a 15-minute rain delay preceded play, and a 13-minute break followed after home plate umpire Ron Kulpa exited with an injury in the seventh inning.
