Morning Briefing: Mets catch Giants for top wild-card spot

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets will use their 11th different starting pitcher of the season on Sunday.

Gabriel Ynoa gets his first major-league start in place of scratched Jacob deGrom.

Ynoa (1-0, 15.19 ERA) opposes Minnesota Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson (6-9, 5.08) in the 1:10 p.m. ET series finale as the Mets aim for the three-game sweep.

The Mets are now tied with the San Francisco Giants for the top wild-card spot, with the St. Louis Cardinals two games back.
