Michael Harris II had three hits and two RBIs to support right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach and help the host Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 5-1 on Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series.
The win pulled Atlanta (86-71) within a game of New York (87-70) in the race for the final wild-card spot in the National League, which the Mets currently hold. The Braves are also within a game of the Arizona Diamondbacks (87-70), who were set to play later Tuesday.
