James Loney's two-out, two-run homer in the sixth snapped a 2-2 tie and lifted the Mets into the playoffs for the second consecutive season after their 5-3 win over the Phillies on Saturday. With the win, New York clinched the top N.L. Wild Card spot and will play either San Francisco or St. Louis on Wednesday night at Citi Field.
