Michael Harris II closed out a nine-run fourth inning Wednesday night by hitting a grand slam for the visiting Atlanta Braves, who stunned the New York Mets in a 11-6 win in the middle game of a three-game series.

The Braves, who trailed 6-0 after two innings before mounting their biggest comeback of the season, have won five of seven. The Mets took their 12th loss in 14 games.

Pete Alonso’s two-run single in the first put the Mets ahead before Carlos Carrasco could record an out. Cedric Mullins added a sacrifice fly later in the inning. New York scored three more times in the second, as Juan Soto hit a two-run homer to center and Jeff McNeil added a two-out run-scoring double.

However, Mets starter David Peterson couldn’t get out of the fourth, when he allowed six of the seven batters he faced to reach base. Nick Allen drew a bases-loaded walk and Jurickson Profar laced a three-run double before Matt Olson chased Peterson by working another walk.

Reed Garrett (3-5) gave up Marcell Ozuna’s run-scoring single and struck out Ozzie Albies before walking Sean Murphy. Harris followed with his second career grand slam.

Ozuna added insurance with a two-run shot off Paul Blackburn in the sixth inning.

Aaron Bummer (2-2) gave up two hits over 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the Braves, who earned their first win after trailing by at least six runs since April 6, 2024, when Atlanta beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8 after trailing 6-0 in the first.

Profar finished 3-for-5.

Alonso was 3-for-4, while Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte and Brett Baty had two hits apiece for New York.

Carrasco allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over two innings. Peterson gave up six runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five over 3 1/3 innings. Blackburn retired the final 12 batters he faced following Ozuna’s homer.
