Atlanta Braves, New York Mets split doubleheader, both teams clinch playoff berths
An improbable comeback by the New York Mets in the opening game of a makeup doubleheader to secure their playoff berth. A gritty recovery by the Atlanta Braves in the nightcap, stamping their postseason ticket, as well.
Arizona needed one team to sweep, so they were pulling for the Mets after they overcame deficits of 3-0 in the eighth inning and 7-6 in the ninth to win the opener, going ahead for good on Francisco Lindor’s two-run homer. With their postseason berth locked up, the Mets added left-hander Joey Lucchesi to the roster to start the second game. The 31-year-old left-hander spent most of the season at Triple-A Syracuse, giving up five runs in 4 1/3 innings in his lone big league appearance before Monday,
“I’m so proud of all those guys,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. “It takes the whole building to make something like this happen.”Trailing 3-0 after managing just three singles through seven innings against rookie Spencer Schwellenbach, New York’s offense came to life in the eighth.
