It was Harris’ 19th major league home run. Dansby Swanson and Contreras notched RBI singles each to make it six. Phillies slugger Bryce Harper went deep for the 18th time this year to reduce the damage. Nick Maton’s sac fly rubber-stamped the final 6-3 scoreline.

The Mets and the Braves will play each other three times in Atlanta next weekend in what is poised to be a title-deciding series. Atlanta Braves face huge Strider setback The Atlanta Braves placed starting pitcher Spencer Strider on the 15-day IL, backdated to Sept. 21, with a strained left oblique muscle. Strider has been sensational for the Braves in his rookie season. He has a 11-5 record, with a 2.67 ERA and 202 strikeouts in 31 appearances, 20 of which have been starts. He has notched 10 or more strikeouts in a game six times this season and twice this month alone. He struck out 16 against the Rockies on Sept. 1, and 10 on Sunday against the Phillies. Strider is expected to receive medical clearance just in time for the postseason. If he doesn’t, it would be an enormous blow to the Braves’ title-defending aspirations. Should the Mets win the NL East title, the Braves will need to go through the NL Wild Card Series. If Strider is unable to pitch by then, the Braves will most likely turn to Max Fried in Game 1, Kyle Wright in Game 2 and Charlie Morton in the decider. × Rate this story! Thank You!
