Jurickson Profar laced a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning Sunday to propel the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 victory over the visiting New York Mets.

Profar and Sean Murphy each drove in a pair for the Braves, who salvaged the finale of the three-game set after being outscored 21-9 across the first two losses against their National League East rival.

Bryce Elder went six innings for Atlanta, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out six and walking two. Tyler Kinley (2-3) earned the victory after throwing a scoreless eighth.

David Peterson allowed two runs on five hits across 5 2/3 innings for the Mets, striking out eight and walking four. Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer in the second for New York.

Mets reliever Gregory Soto (1-4) entered a 2-2 game in the eighth and allowed Ozzie Albies’ leadoff single before retiring Michael Harris II and striking out Nacho Alvarez Jr.

Soto then walked Murphy on four pitches and hit Vidal Brujan with a 1-2 slider, loading the bases. Profar drove in a pair with a single to center.

Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias allowed Cedric Mullins’ and Francisco Lindor’s one-out singles in the ninth, before Juan Soto cut the Mets’ deficit in half with an RBI base hit to left. But Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil each popped out in the infield to end the game and secure Iglesias’ 22nd save.

New York struck first in the second as McNeil walked and Vientos smashed a 402-foot homer — his 12th of the year — to give the Mets a 2-0 lead.

Atlanta didn’t mount a threat until the sixth, when Marcell Ozuna drew a one-out walk and Harris reached on a two-out single. After Peterson walked Alvarez to load the bases, Murphy laced a two-run single to knot the score at 2-2 and chase the Mets’ starter for reliever Brooks Raley.
