The New York Mets can only hope it won't also silence their playoff hopes as they enter Sunday holding a one-game lead over the Cincinnati Reds for the final National League wild-card spot. Cincinnati won the season series over New York 4-2 and has the tiebreaker should the teams finish with the same record. The Mets (80-75) will look to avoid a damaging series loss on Sunday afternoon, when they host Washington (63-92) in their regular-season home finale. Holmes is 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA and one save in 11 2/3 innings over five games (one start) against Washington. He is 1-4 with a 4.87 ERA in 44 1/3 innings over seven starts against the Mets.
