The Mets’ final game of the season is next Sunday in Philadelphia against these very Phillies. PhotoThe National League wild-card game will be on Oct. 5 at the home stadium of the wild-card team with the best record. Should the Mets and the Giants finish the season with the same record, they would both advance to the wild-card game. The Mets topped that five-run frame with a six-run eighth inning against the Phillies’ miserable bullpen. The outcome of the Mets game was essentially decided long before the final out on Sunday.
