WATCH: Money Mike doubles to bring in two runs and tie the game

Michael Harris II ties the game with a two-RBI double in the third.

Michael Harris II got a 0-2 slider a smacked it in the gap bringing in Ronald Acuña Jr. and Orlando Arcia. 

Both Harris's RBI double and Ozuna's homer came off of a two-strike slider. 

The Braves must be seeing this pitch well because they are mashing it hard off the bat. 

Harris's double left the bat at 105.5 mph leading to two runs for the Braves. 

This double tied the game at three runs apiece. No lead is safe when you are facing the mighty Atlanta Braves offense. 

Let's take a look at Money Mike's RBI double to tie NL East rival the New York Mets.
