Clay Holmes delivered his best outing of the season Saturday, leading a combined one-hitter that kept the New York Mets’ playoff hopes alive with a 5-0 win over the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park.
The Mets (83-78) began the day tied with the Cincinnati Reds for the National League’s final wild-card berth but trailed in the tiebreaker.
After Francisco Lindor walked and advanced on a wild pitch in the first, Alonso doubled to left to open the scoring.
Jeff McNeil’s two-out RBI double in the sixth extended the advantage, scoring Alonso after a walk and a balk.
Lindor added a run-scoring single in the ninth, and a wild pitch allowed Tyrone Taylor to cross the plate for a five-run cushion.
