In the first game of the doubleheader on the following day, where the Mets would ultimately clinch their 11th postseason berth in franchise history, was regarded as the "game of the year" due to the game's importance and the multiple lead changes in the later innings.[https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/game-of-the-year-baseball-world-erupts-over-instant-classic-mets-braves-match/ 'Game of the Year': Baseball world erupts over instant-classic Mets-Braves match], SportsNet, September 30, 2024{{Cite web |title=Mets beat Braves in all-time classic Game 1 to clinch WC berth |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/mets-clinch-2024-playoff-berth-with-win-over-braves |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=MLB.com |language=en}} The Braves led 3–0 after 7 innings, but the Mets scored six runs in the top of the 8th, claiming a 6–3 lead capped by a home run from Brandon Nimmo. However, the Braves scored four runs in the bottom of the 8th, mainly due to a bases-clearing double from Ozzie Albies, to claim a 7–6 lead. However, in the top of the 9th, Francisco Lindor hit a go-ahead 2-run homer to put the Mets in front 8–7, which was the final score.
