Braves Briefing: Is Michael Harris heating up and returning to form?

Michael Harris II is starting to return to the form that many grew accustomed to a season ago. 

In the loss to the Detroit Tigers on Monday night, Harris had an impressive performance in the game, going 3 for 4 and even hitting a home run. In fact, he managed to reach base in all four of his plate appearances. Although one of his at-bats didn't result in a hit, he capitalized on a fielding error to reach safely. While the early part of the season hasn't been favorable for Harris II, this particular game might be an indication of better things to come.

Over the last seven games, Harris is hitting .370 at the plate. That's quite the turn from his season-long batting average of .205.

Andrew Stefaniak covered last night's action for Braves Today. 

Raisel Iglesias came into the ball game with a three-run lead and proceeded to allow three runs on five hits. This blown save has the Braves closer's ERA over four, so the question is, what do we do from here? It doesn't seem like a change is necessary. Iglesias had a handful of good outings in a row, so you have to believe this is a one-off. Not having a reliable closer kills ball clubs, and Braves fans need to hope Iglesias is nails in the postseason or stuff like this could happen in October.
