It was a big game for an exciting team. A Mets win would at guarantee them of at least a tie in the NL Wild Card. That would happen as they were destined to face off in Cincinnati for the Wild Card tie breaking game.
But they had o win this one first with Rick Reed (10-5) taking the mound against Francisco Cordova (8-9)
