The Braves center fielder came home on a first-inning wild pitch from Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow and later doubled in the seventh inning. Los Angeles broke a 1-1 tie in that frame on a two-run single by Andy Pages, then added a solo home run from Max Muncy in the ninth to win the best-of-five series three games to one.
Harris had a major October for Atlanta. He hit a three-run homer in the first inning of a win-or-go-home Game 3 of the Wild Card Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on October 1, then fell a home run short of the cycle in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday with a single, double and triple.
After the Braves’ elimination, he shared a message with fans on social media.
“What a year! Not the outcome we wanted but we left it all out on the field and gave ourselves the best chance,” Harris said in a post on X. “Great group of guys to go to battle with everyday.”

Atlanta finished the 2026 season with 94 regular-season wins and its first NL East title in three years. “There’s only one team that goes home happy at the end of the year,” manager Walt Weiss said after the game. “I’ve talked about how proud I am of this group all year, and that doesn’t change.”
What a year! Not the outcome we wanted but we left it all out on the field and gave ourselves the best chance. Great group of guys to go to battle with everyday. This was one for the books for sure. Back at it again in ‘27. 🫡 Thank You Braves Country!
