Michael Harris II opened Game 3 of the NL wild card series with a three-run homer in the first inning, giving the Braves an immediate advantage over the Phillies. The shot was notable for its trajectory: Harris hit the ball on a pitch 1.11 feet above the ground, the third-lowest pitch hit for a postseason home run under tracking since 2008, per MLB's reporting.

Ozzie Albies followed with a two-run homer of his own to extend the Braves' early lead. In another moment from the game, Ray Kerr, a 32-year-old, exited his first postseason appearance to a standing ovation from the Atlanta crowd.
