The Mets continue to battle for their place in the MLB postseason. They overcame the Cubs on Thursday, September 25 at the legendary Wrigley Field and, with that victory, the team led by Venezuelan Carlos Mendoza took advantage in the last wild card spot. The game meant more than just the win, as Francisco Lindor joined Juan Sotoin a memorable feat.
