Braves Look to Extend Winning Ways Against Rockies

The Atlanta Braves are hitting their stride, and Michael Harris II’s recent power surge is helping fuel the momentum. Atlanta will aim to continue its dominance over the Colorado Rockies in the second matchup of a three-game home series on Saturday.

The Braves took the opener 12-4 behind Harris’ game-tying three-run homer and are now 19-5 against the Rockies since the start of the 2022 season. Colorado, meanwhile, has lost six of its last seven contests and continues to struggle both at the plate and on the mound.

Harris Leading Braves’ Offensive Charge

Harris has found his swing at the right time. Over his last seven games, the outfielder is batting .286 (8-for-28) with three home runs and seven RBIs. He has homered in three of his last six outings after a long 42-game homerless stretch.

The surge has lifted his batting average from .227 to .238, and he now ranks second on the team with 41 RBIs. Harris credited his approach in clutch moments.

“I guess when I come up in those situations, I’ve really got to settle in and really know the team needs runs to win games,” he said.

Starting Pitching Matchup: Strider vs. Dollander

Atlanta will send Spencer Strider (0-5, 5.40 ERA) to the mound as he searches for his first win of the season. Strider is coming off his longest outing of the year, going six innings in a loss to the Giants. He allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits while striking out five.

Despite his rocky 2024 season, Strider has been lights out against Colorado. In two career starts against the Rockies, he owns a 1-0 record with a 0.75 ERA and 21 strikeouts over 12 innings.

Colorado counters with rookie Chase Dollander (2-6, 6.85 ERA), who is making his 11th start of the year. The Georgia native struggled in his last outing, giving up five runs on eight hits (including two home runs) over just three innings against the Mets. He has pitched only three innings in each of his last two starts, as the Rockies remain cautious with his workload following a stint on the injured list.
