"Clay Holmes delivered his best outing of the season Saturday, leading a combined one-hitter that kept the New York Mets' playoff hopes alive with a 5-0 win over the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. Holmes, making his first start since a brief relief appearance three days earlier, went six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit with three walks and two strikeouts over 78 pitches. Brooks Raley, Tyler Rogers, and Edwin Díaz retired the final nine batters to preserve the shutout."
"The Mets (83-78) began the day tied with the Cincinnati Reds for the National League's final wild-card berth but trailed in the tiebreaker. With the Reds playing later in Milwaukee, New York ensured Sunday's regular-season finale will still matter. Pete Alonso provided the early offense. After Francisco Lindor walked and advanced on a wild pitch in the first, Alonso doubled to left to open the scoring. Alonso then crushed his 38th homer of the year, a two-out blast to left-center off Eury Pérez in the third, to push the lead to 2-0."
