The Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 on Friday night and now control their own destiny in the National League Wild Card race.
Their magic number is two to eliminate the New York Mets and one to eliminate the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Quinn Priester started for the Brewers and Milwaukee had won 19 straight starts with him on the mound.
The Reds used RBIs from Tyler Stephenson, Spencer Steer, and Miguel Andujar for their three runs and Zack Littell, Connor Phillips, Graham Ashcraft, Tony Santillan, and Emilio Pagan combined for nine innings of one-run baseball.
The Mets have a day game against the Marlins on Saturday. If the Mets lose, the Reds will have a chance to clinch a postseason berth tomorrow night.
This team has battled back all season long when you think they’re out of it and now they’re in control of their own destiny with two games left in the season.
