Mets clinch NL Wild Card spot as Francisco Lindor’s clutch 9th-inning home run leads to win over Braves
The feeling of October playoff baseball started one day early
The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves had a thrilling first game of their doubleheader to determine who will be a Wild Card team in the National League.
After a late-inning back-and-forth on the scoreboard, it’s the Mets who have punched their ticket to the postseason with an 8-7 victory.

However, if the Mets win, the Arizona Diamondbacks will take that final spot. They’re certainly rooting for New York, as they knew heading into Monday they needed a sweep from one of the NL East rivals.
This is a developing story. More to come.
