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

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

In the first game, the Mets came from behind to beat the Braves 8-7, earning 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 move into the playoffs; However, a second Mets win would secure a spot for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are watching from Phoenix, hoping for a win that would give them the final wild card.
