Greg Harris triggered a two-run sixth inning with a double and yielded just four hits in seven innings to lead the Mets to a 4-1 triumph over the Braves. The Mets trailed, 1-0, when Harris began the bottom of the sixth with his two-bagger, reached third on a single by Mookie Wilson and continued home on an errant throw by Atlanta center fielder Dale Murphy.
