It’s best to have Michael Harris II in the lineup as frequently as possible. But on those days he needs to rest, it’s also nice to bring him off the bench to show why he’s known as “Money Mike.” Harris erased any concerns about his recent back discomfort when he delivered a bases-clearing pinch-hit double in the seventh inning of a 3-2 win over the Pirates on Sunday afternoon at Truist Park. The comeback win gave the Braves their third series sweep of the season and first at home. “I fed off the crowd again today,” Harris said. “Once I came in to pinch-hit, it sounded like a playoff game. I couldn’t let them down.” A rain-saturated crowd of 37,697 erupted when Harris came out of the dugout with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. It was good to see the center fielder who didn't play on Saturday -- especially in this situation. View this post on Instagram
