Trent Grisham hit an RBI single and made a terrific catch in center field that helped the Padres take the best-of-three National League wild-card series 2-1. Austin Nola and Juan Soto each had a two-run single. Relegated to the wild-card round, New York never fully recovered. Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer got rocked in Game 1 and, after the Mets won Game 2 behind two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom to stave off elimination, they mustered almost nothing against Musgrove and finished with one lonely hit.
