WATCH: Michael Harris II and Ronald Acuña Jr launch back to back home runs in Philly

The Braves have extended their lead in the 6th thanks to back-to-back jacks from twof the team's outfielders, the 16th time Braves hitters have gone back-to-back this season

"Well, that escalated quickly". 

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Andrew Bellatti's day went from bad to worse in a HURRY against the Atlanta Braves. 

Coming into the 6th inning after a one-out double by Orlando Arcia knocked starter Taijuan Walker out of the game, Bellatti quickly felt the wrath of this fully armed and operational offense. 

His 2-1 pitch to Michael Harris, a middle-middle 86 mph slider, was LAUNCHED for a 423 foot home run that extended Atlanta's lead to three. 

The very next pitch from Bellatti, an elevated 93 mph fastball, was ambushed by Ronald Acuña Jr for his 36th homer of the season. 

The back-to-back jacks, both coming in at 420 feet or more, are the 16th time Braves hitters have gone back-to-back this season. 

Atlanta's lead is now 8-4 as the teams head to the top of the 7th inning. Charlie Morton, sitting on 85 pitches after five innings, is back out there for the 6th inning.
