Overview

• The Mets fell 6-2 to the Marlins after a six-run fifth inning flipped the opener in Miami, leaving New York level with Cincinnati for the final NL wild-card spot.
• Cincinnati beat the Brewers 3-1 and owns the season-series tiebreaker over both the Mets and Diamondbacks, putting the Reds in procedural control if the teams finish tied.
• Sandy Alcantara earned the win for Miami, which is out of contention but has taken six of 11 from New York this year.
• New York’s lineup depth is in flux after Brett Baty exited with right-side soreness, a day after Francisco Alvarez was held out for cramping.
• The Diamondbacks were eliminated with a 7-4 loss to the Padres, while Boston clinched an AL berth on Ceddanne Rafaela’s walk-off triple.
