David Peterson struggled in the fourth inning, allowing four walks and a grand slam from Michael Harris II, leading to a nine-run inning for the Braves. The Mets' offense faded against the Braves' bullpen, managing just one scoring chance after the fourth inning. Paul Blackburn allowed a two-run homer, sealing the Mets' defeat.
The Mets jumped on former teammate Carlos Carrasco immediately after the long delay. Francisco Lindor's leadoff double set the tone before Pete Alonso drove in two with a sharp single to center, tying him for the MLB lead with 98 RBI.
David Peterson breezed early but cracked in the fourth, issuing four walks and surrendering a bases-clearing double to Jurickson Profar. Reed Garrett relieved him and immediately gave up an RBI single to Marcell Ozuna before Michael Harris II crushed a two-out grand slam, flipping the score to 9-6.
New York's bats fell silent against the Braves' bullpen, which delivered seven shutout innings. The Mets managed only one scoring chance after the fourth, squandering a Starling Marte single when Alonso was thrown out at the plate.
