Mets blank Brewers 5-0 behind Lindor and Peterson to move 1 win from wild card

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — Francisco Lindor homered and drove in two runs, David Peterson pitched seven brilliant innings and the New York Mets moved within one win of a playoff berth Sunday with a 5-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. “Nobody expected us to be in this position and here we are with a chance to do something special.” New York could have clinched a postseason spot Sunday with a win and an Arizona loss, but the Diamondbacks routed San Diego 11-2 at home to complete their regular season. “He was calm and under control and he kept making good pitches.” Edwin Díaz needed 26 pitches in the ninth to nail down New York’s ninth shutout of the year — all since July 11. But if the Mets win the first game, they’d likely save Severino for Game 1 of a Wild Card Series on Tuesday.
