Brandon Nimmo hit a tiebreaking, sixth-inning home run off Zack Wheeler that sailed just over the glove of leaping right fielder Nick Castellanos, and the New York Mets beat Philadelphia 2-1 to prevent the Phillies from clinching the NL East at Citi Field.

As Edwin Diaz completed the final out of his two-inning save, the Mets’ two-game lead over the Braves for the NL’s third wildcard was secure.

With a chance to win the National League East on the line, the Phillies concluded their series with the New York Mets. Under the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball, the Phillies could pop champagne on National television.
