Tim Healey Newsday: Pete Alonso, Mets stun Brewers with comeback win in Game 3, advance to NLDS. "With his team down to potentially its final two outs of the season, in what could have been his last moments in a Mets uniform, Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead three-run home run to right field off Brewers closer Devin Williams, lifting the Mets to a season-extending 4-2 win in Game 3 of their Wild Card Series."
Brian Joura Mets 360: "It looked like the Mets’ season was over. They were held to two hits in the first eight innings, both of which were produced by Francisco Lindor. And Lindor got the winning rally started in the ninth, drawing a leadoff walk. One out later, Brandon Nimmo ripped a single to put runners on the corners with Alonso coming to the plate."
NY Post: "The Mets, who won their first postseason series since 2015, got the final three outs from David Peterson and advanced to the NLDS beginning on Saturday in Philadelphia."
NY Post: Jose Quintana’s gem kept Mets afloat until their late heroics. "He consistently pitched around traffic, recording just one 1-2-3 inning, but kept the Brewers scoreless for six impeccable, scoreless frames in which he allowed four hits and walked one."

Transactions:
New York Mets released Chico Walker on October 4, 1993.
New York Mets released Ced Landrum on October 4, 1993.
Ricky Ledee granted free agency on October 4, 2007.
Jack Egbert granted free agency on October 4, 2012.
1999 | On the last day of the season, Rey Ordonez extends the major league record to 100 errorless games at shortstop, handling 411 chances flawlessly during this span for the Mets. The New York infielder will add another game to the streak on Opening Day next season before committing an error the next day at the Tokyo Dome. |
1999 | In a one-game playoff for the NL wild card, the Mets beat the Reds at Cinergy Field, 5-0. New York southpaw Al Leiter goes the distance, limiting Cincinnati to only two hits. |
2006 | At Shea Stadium, Russell Martin's double kills a promising two on and none out rally as both Dodgers runners are nailed at home in the Mets' eventual 6-5 victory in Game 1 of the NLDS. Jeff Kent and J.D. Drew both try to score, but the relay from right fielder Shawn Green to second baseman Jose Valentin to Paul Lo Duca allows the catcher to tag each runner during their headfirst slides into the plate. |
2010 | A day after the team completes its fourth consecutive disappointing season, the Mets dismiss manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya. Assistant GM John Ricco will be the head of baseball operations on an interim basis until a new GM selects the team's next manager. |
2019 | In Game 1 of the ALDS in the Bronx, the Twins drop a 10-4 decision to the Yankees, extending their postseason losing streak to a major league record 14 consecutive contests. Minnesota previously shared the dubious mark with the Red Sox, who lost 13 straight playoff encounters from 1986-1995, starting with the Bill Buckner game against the Mets at Shea Stadium. |
2000: San Francisco defeats the Mets, 5 - 1, in Game 1 of their National League Division Series. Livan Hernandez gets the victory, raising his lifetime postseason play record to 5-0. Ellis Burks' three-run home run is the key hit for San Francisco.
2021 - The first manager to lose his job this off-season is Luis Rojas of the Mets, in a widely expected move - including by Rojas himself. The Mets want to name a completely new management team, after years of undeperforming amidst a constant soap opera atmosphere.
