The New York Mets have surged to within a half-game of the Atlanta Braves in the National League Wild Card race after a dramatic 3-2 walk-off victory in extra innings. The game, held at Citi Field, saw Jeff McNeil hit a walk-off single, capitalizing on a misplayed fly ball by Braves' right fielder Ramon Laureano. This win marks the Mets' fourth consecutive victory, improving their record to 54-48. Phil Maton was credited with the win (WP), while Pierce Johnson took the loss (LP).
