Thanks to Geovany Soto‘s three-run shot into the Wrigley Field Bleachers, the Mets’ path back to the playoffs got a little bit smoother according to Bart Hubbuch at the New York Post. 
Prior to the Mets 7-2 win over the Nationals, the clubhouse erupted into cheers and high-fives after Soto’s home run tied the game and the Cubs went on to win in the 12th.
Jerry Manuel on September scoreboard watching, as quoted by Hubbuch, said:
“It’s important that we’re scoreboard-watching and trying to do all we can to win to get into the postseason … That’s exciting. I applaud them for that.”
…i became a huge soto fan after that home run…i also felt a little better about the mets bullpen after watching the brewers’ pen blew a four-run lead with two outs in the ninth inning…
