Mets' Brandon Nimmo hits go-ahead blast in sixth, Edwin Diaz notches save in series win over Phillies
Brandon Nimmo’s leadoff, first-pitch home run off Zack Wheeler in the sixth snapped a 1-1 tie and the Mets held on to improve to an MLB-best 15-5 in September. At 87-69, the Mets took over the second wild-card spot from Arizona, which has the same record. The Mets own the tiebreaker by virtue of their 4-3 record against the defending NL champs.
