WATCH: Money Mike performs some highway robbery on Lars Nootbaar

It's been a rough night for the Atlanta Braves, but that's not going to keep Michael Harris II off the highlight reel.

The Cardinals have their hitting shoes on tonight, blasting three homers en route to a 6-1 lead at Truist Park. Generously voweled Lars Nootbaar was looking for a fourth, but Michael Harris II had other ideas.

Nootbaar got a sweeper from Collin McHugh over the middle of the plate, and he popped it to straightaway center. The ball had enough arc on it that it allowed Money Mike to find the wall, find the ball again, and time his jump perfectly to do a little thievin'.

On a night where hard-hit balls off Braves bats are finding leather left and right, it was nice to claw at least one of those back. The spectacular play kept the deficit at five, and the Braves will try to rally against Miles Mikolas and the Cardinal 'pen from here.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, September 5th

Starting for the Braves today is Michael Soroka. He's 2-1 with a 5.56 ERA in his six games (five starts) for Atlanta this season. It's his third callup of the season, and outside of those two MLB stints he's 4-4 with a 3.41 ERA for AAA Gwinnett this season, having started seventeen games. 1B Paul Goldschmidt is the only Cardinals player to have MLB at-bats against Soroka, going 2-4 with an RBI in the past, but prospect Masyn Winn was 1-4 with a single against Soroka this season for AAA Memphis.

Facing off against Atlanta is Miles Mikolas. 6-10 with a 4.66 ERA in his league-leading 29 starts, Mikolas has only 112 strikeouts in 164.1 innings, walking 33. Plenty of Braves hitters have had pretty good offensive success at the plate, with Matt Olson (3-6, HR, 3 RBIs), Marcell Ozuna (3-8, 2 HRs, 2 RBIs), and Eddie Rosario (408, HR, RBI) having all taken him deep.
