ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves will play in October after beating the Mets on Monday in the second game of a doubleheader.

The Braves left the Mets, who clinched their own wild card spot in the first game, scoreless 3-0.

In the first game, the Mets came from behind to defeat the Braves 8-7, securing New York a wild card spot.

The NL East rivals are both trying to secure a spot. If the Braves win the second game, they too will advance to the playoffs; however, a second Mets win would secure a spot for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are watching from Phoenix, hoping for a sweep that would give them the final wild card.
