Atlanta Braves secure a 11-6 victory over New York Mets, with Michael Harris II's grand slam sealing a 9-run inning triumph.
Atlanta Braves Turn Tables on New York Mets with Nine-Run Fourth Inning
The Atlanta Braves staged a dramatic comeback on Wednesday night, scoring nine runs in the fourth inning to take a 9-6 lead against the New York Mets. This was the Braves' biggest inning since September 9, 2020, and a testament to their resilience and offensive prowess.
The Braves found themselves trailing 6-0 after two innings, but a series of clutch hits turned the game around. Michael Harris II was the star of the show, hitting a grand slam that capped off the inning and energized the team and the fans. This was Harris II's 13th home run of the season and his second career grand slam.
Jurickson Profar also contributed to the inning with a three-run double, while Juan Soto and Pete Alonso each had a home run for the Mets. Alonso's two-run single in the first inning had given the Mets an early 2-0 lead, but the Braves fought back valiantly.
The Braves' nine-run inning was a significant moment in their recent history, demonstrating both individual and team resilience. Harris' hot streak in 2025, including this grand slam and multiple hits during the series against the Mets, has solidified his status as a leading hitter for Atlanta in this era.
The three-game series between the Mets and Braves concludes on Thursday night. The Mets will be starting RHP Kodai Senga, who has a 2.30 ERA this season, against the Braves' Bryce Elder, who has a 6.12 ERA. The game will be played on Thursday night, and the Mets will be looking to bounce back from their fourth inning collapse.
It's worth noting that the last time the Mets gave up at least nine runs in an inning was on April 16, 2019, when the Philadelphia Phillies scored 10 runs in the first inning of a game against the Mets. The Mets will be hoping to avoid a repeat of that disastrous inning on Thursday.
