September 7 - After a 3-1 win in Friday night's series opener with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays, the Atlanta Braves found themselves briefly ahead of the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League standings.
But that changed when Mark Vientos clubbed a two-run walk-off homer to give the Mets a 6-4 victory in 10 innings over the Cincinnati Reds a few minutes later.
So both the Mets and Atlanta enter Saturday's action with identical 77-64 records with 21 games to go. But Braves manager Brian Snitker said he isn't focused on the standings and is taking the old one day at a time approach to the wild-card race.
