The New York Mets (85-69) had their four-game win streak snapped with a 12-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies (92-62) on Friday night at Citi Field. Despite getting clobbered, the Mets did not lose any ground in the Wild Card standings as the Atlanta Braves also lost to the Miami Marlins.

After four games without their biggest offensive driver, the Mets are producing more than enough runs to win in his absence. The bats have absolutely exploded at Citi Field this week, with the Mets having scored 10 runs in three consecutive nights for the first time in franchise history.

The Marlins cost the Braves a chance to pick up a game on the Mets in the NL Wild Card standings by beating Atlanta on Friday.

The Braves are two games behind the Mets for the final spot in the wild card standings. This Marlins series could be pivotal in determining if they have a shot at getting in.
