Despite having a rough season in 2025, Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II made some incredible baseball history over the weekend.

Ronald Acuña Jr., Marcell Ozuna and Austin Riley homered as the Atlanta Braves snapped a five-game losing streak with a 10-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals, who equaled a club record by walking 14 batters.

Michael Harris II is heating up at the plate, and a mock trade sending the Braves' center fielder to the Tigers could benefit both teams ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline.

Atlanta Braves Center Fielder Michael Harris II had a series for the ages over the weekend against the Texas Rangers. He had two singles, two doubles, two triples, and two home runs.
