ATLANTA (AP) — Orlando Arcia drove in the go-ahead run in Atlanta's four-run sixth, Bryce Elder overcame his worst inning of the season and the Braves beat the New York Mets 6-4 on Tuesday night.
Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso hit two-run homers in the third, but Elder (4-0) regrouped with three scoreless innings and New York (30-31) lost its fourth straight, matching a season high.
The Mets led 4-1 before starter Carlos Carrasco allowed three runs in the sixth. Arcia's RBI single off reliever Drew Smith deflected off the glove of diving second baseman Eduardo Escobar to give Atlanta a 5-4 lead.
