A rout. I don't know if this term for baseball is correct, but in football with this score it is called a goleada (rout).

It was a rout. The Mets won handily.

Have to back it up with another win today.

I saw the Mets had a narrow win yesterday.

Today they need to keep the momentum going to secure another victory against the Nationals.

They are still holding onto the final playoff spot, by a game.

A hard road with a dozen games left.

The challenge is great then.

In your opinion, will they get this position? Or are the chances slim?

Task, yesterday was a massacre. Ls Mets won very well yesterday.

Today the game will be earlier. I'll be keeping an eye on that.
