With the Mets falling to the Atlanta Braves Monday night by a score of 7-3, the Wild Card race tightened some more.
The St. Louis Cardinals took care of business on their end, defeating the Colorado Rockies by a score of 5-3. The San Francisco Giants blew a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth, falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 2-1.
With the win, the Cards were able to pick up a game on both the Mets and Giants. They trail the Mets by one game for the top Wild Card spot and are now tied with the Giants for the second Wild Card spot.
The Mets will send Robert Gsellman (2-1, 3,08 ERA) to the mound tonight as they look to hold on to sole possession of the top Wild Card spot on Tuesday night. The Braves though will send Julio Teheran (5-10, 3.18 ERA) to the mound, who has dominated the Mets this season. Teheran has only given up two runs in 23 innings against them this year.
