The regular season was set to end Sunday, but the Mets are now scheduled to return to Atlanta on Monday for a doubleheader that could settle the postseason lineup.
The Mets (87-70) went into the day with a half-game lead over Arizona in the wild-card race, with the Braves (86-71) a full game back. Two of those teams will make the playoffs, which are set to begin Tuesday with the best-of-three wild-card round.
