Mets beat Phillies 5-3 to clinch top NL wild card



PHILADELPHIA -- The New York Mets clinched a playoff spot Saturday, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 to secure the top National League wild card.

The defending NL champions will host San Francisco or St. Louis on Wednesday night at Citi Field, with the winner advancing to face the Chicago Cubs
.

James Loney hit a two-run homer to back 43-year-old Bartolo Colon (15-8), and Jeurys Familia closed for his major league-high 51st save. T.J. Rivera, Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera each had an RBI single.

Uncork the champagne. The reigning National League champs are returning to the postseason. And this berth may be more of an accomplishment than a year ago, even though it comes via a wild card rather than division crown. Decimated by injuries, the Mets nonetheless clinched a wild-card berth Saturday with a 5-3 win against the Phillies. The Mets (87-74) will host the Giants or Cardinals on Wednesday. It marks the second time in franchise history the Mets will appear in the postseason in consecutive years. They earned consecutive wild-card berths in 1999 and 2000.


Gabriel Ynoa will start Sunday's regular-season finale over Noah Syndergaard. Syndergaard will throw a bullpen session in preparation for Wednesday's wild-card game at Citi Field.....Yoenis Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera will be off Sunday.

The Mets haven't identified their wild-card roster. But teams traditionally carry only nine or 10 pitchers for a wild-card game, with 15 or 16 position players (including three catchers), assistant GM John Ricco said.

Let's hope the Cards and Giants tie and their one off goes 18 innings.

Both the Giants & Cards won today.....So we get SF on Wednesday night.

and lol at cards skipper mike matheny:
Mike Matheny said he thinks a lot of teams in baseball are glad the Cardinals didn't get in, that they were finally getting hot.
