Michael Harris II's double lifts Braves over Rockies 2-1 in Atlanta

Michael Harris II hit a two-out, two-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on August 29. This win marks the Braves' sixth consecutive victory, solidifying their lead in the National League East. The Rockies, who entered the game with the worst team ERA in Major League Baseball, came close to achieving just their second shutout of the season, but a bases-loaded single from Castro allowed one run in the sixth. Brent Suter earned his first win with the Braves after pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings, while rookie Didier Fuentes secured the save despite allowing two baserunners in the ninth. The teams will face off again on August 30, with Braves RHP Tyler Mahle set to pitch against Rockies RHP Mason Adams.
