Atlanta Braves Center fielder Michael Harris II made a sensational catch Thursday afternoon as he stolen a three-run home run in four innings of a 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies rose 2-0 with 1 base and 2 base runners at the bottom of the four innings. The Phillies left Fielder Max Kepler and strolled around the 85 mph splitter from Scott Brullette, then brought Harris back towards the center field wall.
Harris tracked the ball all the way, beautifully timing his leaps, made a catch over the wall and regained what was Kepler's three-run home run.
