Marlins-Mets suspended after long delay; Monday finish in play - ESPN

NEW YORK — Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Yuri Gurriel had consecutive run-scoring hits in the ninth inning as Miami rallied to take a 2-1 lead over the New York Mets, but the game was suspended by rain at 12:58 a.m. after a 3-hour, 17-minute delay.

Miami had moved into the third and final NL wild card spot when the Chicago Cubs lost at Atlanta earlier Thursday.

Miami (82-76) is a half-game ahead of the Cubs (82-77), who finish with three games at NL Central champion Milwaukee. The Marlins close with three games at Pittsburgh and would have to return to New York on Monday to complete the game against the Mets if it's needed to determine a postseason spot.

Miami holds the tiebreaker against the Cubs after winning the season series 4-2.

The game would be resumed at the point of suspension if needed to determine a playoff berth. It would resume at 1:10 p.m. ET on Monday.

If the game isn't needed to decide a postseason spot, the score would revert to a 1-0 Mets victory under 7.02 (b) (4) (A).
