MILWAUKEE -- For the Reds, their postseason hopes hinge entirely on what happens on the final day of the season on Sunday.
Game 162.
By taking a 7-4 victory over the Brewers and winning the first two games of the three-game series on Saturday night, the Reds (83-78) maintained their command of the race for the final National League Wild Card spot . The Mets (83-78) also won on Saturday at Miami, leaving the two teams tied in the standings going into Sunday.
Because Cincinnati owns the tiebreaker based on its season series win over New York (4-2), it has some wiggle room. If the Reds win the finale at American Family Field, they clinch a playoff spot regardless of what the Mets do on Sunday. If the Reds lose, they must hope the Mets also lose vs. the Marlins to get in.
