The middle of the lineup for the mid-’90s Blue Jays took care of business for the mid-’00s Mets, as Carlos Delgado hit the key homer and Shawn Green added insurance to back another good outing from Dave Williams in the Mets’ zippy 4-1 win over the hated Braves in the opener of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Shea.

Hopefully we’ll update again later tonight, but as of Wednesday afternoon, the Mets’ magic number stands at only …

10.

The win officially eliminated the Washington Nationals from the NL East race.
