The Mets on Friday beat the Phillies 5-1 and in doing so clinched at least a tie for an NL wild card berth. Heavily aiding that critical win was outfielder and prominent non-waiver deadline addition Jay Bruce. Against the Phils on Friday, Bruce went 3 for 4 with three RBI. Among those three hits was his 33rd homer of the season. He's now batting a respectable .249/.307/.507 on the year.
