WATCH: Michael Harris II launches one to left field to extend Atlanta's lead

The centerfielder is on a heater, going 3-3 today with a homerun, three runs, and three RBIs

Just like a big series against Miami propelled Marcell Ozuna to a massive month of May, Michael Harris II apparently used a big series against the Mets to power up for domination in the month of June. 

After already single and doubling early in the game, scoring two runs, Harris launched a leadoff homerun off of reliever Brendan White to stake Atlanta to an 8-5 lead.  

Here's how close it came to being robbed out in left: 

The homerun, Harris' 4th of the season, is his 2nd of the last week. He's hit safely in six of the last seven games, going 13-26 with seven runs and seven RBIs. 

Atlanta's lead in the game is back to three runs, 8-5, as they head to the seventh inning stretch.
