Harris Delivers as Braves Sweep Pirates

Harris Delivers as Braves Sweep Pirates

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:45

Michael Harris Jr. delivered a walk-off three-run double in the seventh to seal a 3-2 Braves victory over the Pirates, completing a series sweep and extending Atlanta’s winning streak to eight in ten games. Reynaldo Lopez and rookie Didier Fuentes combined for the win and save. The Pirates’ early lead and opener strategy backfired as an error and walks loaded the bases for Harris. Elsewhere, the Brewers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Giants, and Mets all posted wins in their recent series, with standout performances from rookies and clutch late-inning plays.
