Braves extend six-game win streak with late rally
Michael Harris II delivered a two-out, two-run double in the eighth to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies and cap a six-game winning streak. The homerless Rockies rode a bullpen game and a sixth-inning RBI from Hunter Goodman to within one run, but Atlanta’s late rally pulled ahead as Matt Olson and Mauricio Dubón reached to set up Harris’s go-ahead hit. Braves starter Martín Pérez worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run, while Brent Suter earned the win in relief and Didier Fuentes closed out the save. Dubón was highlighted for his defense earlier, and the Braves benefited from a productive eighth inning that avoided another scoreless frame. The win extended Atlanta’s lead in the NL East and solidified their momentum heading into the series finale. The matchup also underscored the Braves’ strengthened rotation depth after the trade deadline, with Pérez delivering a solid outing as the club pursues postseason positioning.
