Mets put up four-run rally in 9th to beat Rockies, keep wild card hopes alive

DENVER _ Finally, the Mets benefited from a Diaz blown save.

The Mets rallied in the ninth inning against Rockies relievers Jairo Diaz and Joe Harvey for a 7-4 win Wednesday. Brandon Nimmo had the tying single off Diaz. After Harvey entered, Pete Alonso got the go-ahead RBI on a bases-loaded walk and Seth Lugo added a run-scoring, line-drive single to center between his two scoreless innings.

With a series win, the Mets (79-73) moved to 3 { games back of a National League wild card spot, pending the results of the Cubs' and Brewers' games later Wednesday. Their elimination number remained at eight with 10 games left.
