"Braves vs. Phillies: Bryce Harper's Base Running Decision and Wild Ending in NLDS Game 2"
TL;DR
The Atlanta Braves secured a thrilling 5-4 comeback win against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the NLDS, thanks in part to a game-saving defensive play by Braves center fielder Michael Harris II. With Bryce Harper on first base as the potential tying run, Harris leaped to catch Nick Castellanos' drive and threw the ball back infield for a double play, preventing the tying run from scoring. Harper defended his aggressive base running decision, while Phillies manager Rob Thomson offered soft criticism. The play may have saved the Braves' season.
