Mets fans at Citi Field cheered when Spencer Steer's homer gave the Reds a 6-5 lead

One team that doesn't mind seeing the Cincinnati Reds play spoiler this week against the Atlanta Braves is the New York Mets.

That's why, as Mark Zuckerman pointed out with a tweet during the Mets' 10-1 win against the Washington Nationals at Citi Field, fans started cheering when the Reds' Spencer Steer hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning at GABP to give Cincinnati a 6-5 lead against Atlanta, in a game in which the Reds had trailed 5-1.

With the Mets' win and the Braves' loss, the Mets are tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League wild card standings.
