The Miami Marlins held up their end of the bargain on Sunday afternoon despite the 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers by the Cincinnati Reds.
Miami wiped away the New York Mets by the score of 4-0 after
Francisco Lindor grounded into an inning-ending double play in the Top of the 9th, leaving both the Mets and Reds done for the regular season with identical 83-79 records. However, the Reds held the tiebreaker over the Mets by virtue of beating them more often during the 2025 slate, meaning THE CINCINNATI REDS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!
The Reds will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in their first postseason ‘series’ in a non pandemic-shortened season since 2012, back when half this current roster was still in middle school.
First pitch in Game 1 of that NL Wild Card series will be tossed in Dodger Stadium at 9:08 PM ET on Tuesday, September 20th, and thanks to the Reds deciding to hold off on using Hunter Greene in today’s game, he’ll almost certainly be getting the start there.
It’s postseason time in Reds Country!
