The New York Mets secured their playoff spot with a thrilling comeback victory in the first game of a doubleheader, overcoming a 3-0 deficit in the eighth inning. Francisco Lindor's two-run homer sealed the win, while the Atlanta Braves clinched their postseason berth with a 3-0 victory in the nightcap.
Braves manager Brian Snitker praised his team's resilience, especially after ace Chris Sale was scratched from the start due to back spasms. Both teams celebrated their playoff qualifications, marking a memorable end to the regular season.
