ATLANTA — A historic and improbable double play sparked by Michael Harris II capped the Braves' dramatic comeback to win Game 2 of the NLDS and even the series with the Phillies.
Having rallied from a four-run deficit, the Braves were clinging to a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning with Bryce Harper on first base and Nick Castellanos up to bat with one out.
Castellanos hit a flyball to deep right-center field that would've been a home run in five MLB parks and that StatCast gave a .610 expected batting average.
Harris read it quickly, telling reporters after the game, «I knew off the bat it was going to be close to the fence, so I knew once I went back, I wasn't stopping.
