And then there were seven.
Only seven teams remain in the Major League Baseball playoffs after the New York Mets eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies with a 4-1 victory in Game 4 of their National League Division Series matchup on Wednesday.
Francisco Lindor played the role of hero with a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead.
Just like that, the No. 2 seed in the National League was eliminated and the sixth-seeded Mets continued their impressive run. New York also eliminated the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild-Card Round and is now just four wins away from its first World Series since 2015.
