NY Post: Mets enter Braves showdown in driver's seat after Brandon Nimmo, bullpen secure series win over Phillies. "As Edwin Diaz completed the final out of his two-inning save, the Mets’ two-game lead over the Braves for the NL’s third wild card was secure. Two victories in three games at Truist Park (since the Mets would hold the tiebreaker based on head-to-head with the Braves) will guarantee the Mets their second postseason appearance in three years."
NY Post: Pete Alonso tips helmet to standing ovation during what could be final Mets home game. "Pete Alonso tipped his helmet to the crowd before his first at-bat Sunday night in what could be his final game at Citi Field as a Met. It followed a partial standing ovation from the sellout crowd in Queens, with the fans chanting the first baseman’s name as he got to the plate in the bottom of the first."
NY Post: Who nudged Pete Alonso to give helmet tip with Mets future uncertain. "Alonso said home plate umpire John Libka had a message for him when he got into the box. 'John said, ‘Are you gonna tip your cap or something? I can give you time,’ Alonso said after the Mets’ 2-1 win over Philadelphia. 'I said, ‘What?’ I was worried about my at-bat, but [thought] ‘Yeah, I should.’ I’m happy John reminded me.'”

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Pete Harnisch (1966)
- Gonzalez Germen (1987)
- Trevor May (1989)
Died on this date:
- Bob Shaw (2010)
Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Bob Miller from the Detroit Tigers on September 23, 1973.
1962 | In his first major league start, 17 year-old first baseman Ed Kranepool gets his first hit, an eighth-inning double at the Polo Grounds in the Mets' 2-1 walk-off victory over Chicago. When the former James Monroe High School standout retires, he will be the franchise leader in eight offensive categories, including collecting 1418 hits during his 18 seasons with the team. |
1969 | Exactly one year after their manager suffered a heart attack in the dugout during a game against Atlanta, the Mets give Gil Hodges a reason to breathe a bit easier when the team clinches a tie for the NL East flag by beating the Cardinals, 3-2, on an 11th inning walk-off single stroked by Bud Harrelson off Bob Gibson. Prior to the Shea Stadium victory, Linton H. Bishop, Jr., the skipper's cardiologist, had sent him a telegram that read, "Happy to see you're No. 1. Hope your team does as well as your heart." |
2008 | Jose Reyes collects his 200th hit of the season with a bases-loaded triple in a much-needed Mets 6-2 victory over the Cubs at Shea Stadium. The 25 year-old shortstop joins Lance Johnson (1996) as one of the only two players in franchise history to reach the esteemed plateau. |
1964: The Mets surprise the Cards and Roger Craig, 2 - 1, scoring the winner on an error. The Cards' only run is Bill White's homer off Galen Cisco. Cards manager Johnny Keane is quoted as saying he has no idea whether he will be asked to return as Cards manager next year.
9/23/1962 One day after making his MLB debut, 17-year-old Ed Kranepool picks up his first career hit. Over 18 seasons with the Mets, Kranepool collected 1,418 hits, which was a Mets club record until 2012. pic.twitter.com/GiIRS5Hryo
