Alonso, Holmes lead Mets past Marlins, push wild-card race to final day
"Pete Alonso homered and drilled an RBI double, Clay Holmes combined with three relievers on a one-hitter, and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 on Saturday to push their playoff fate to the final day of the regular season. The Mets (83-78) pulled a half-game ahead of Cincinnati (82-78) for the last National League wild card. The Reds were set to play at NL Central champion Milwaukee later Saturday."
"Holmes (12-8) allowed one hit over six innings with three walks and a strikeout. Brooks Raley and Tyler Rogers each worked a perfect inning before Edwin Díaz got three outs to end it. Alonso put the Mets ahead 1-0 with his NL-leading 41st double against Eury Pérez (7-6) in the first inning."
Pete Alonso homered, hit an RBI double and scored, and Clay Holmes combined with three relievers on a one-hitter as the Mets beat the Marlins 5-0. The victory moved New York to 83-78, a half-game ahead of Cincinnati for the final NL wild card, though Cincinnati holds the head-to-head tiebreaker so New York needs the Reds to lose at least one of their final two games. Holmes allowed one hit over six innings with three walks and a strikeout. Brooks Raley, Tyler Rogers and Edwin Díaz finished the shutout. Eury Pérez struck out a career-high 11 while allowing three runs.
