The game took place on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, with teams reflecting on the event's history in New York. The Mets made a roster move by recalling Jack Weisenburger from Syracuse and optioning Chris Devenski to the minors. Brett Baty remained sidelined with a knee injury but was available off the bench. Elsewhere, the Brewers and Rays both secured postseason berths, while the Phillies scratched Jesús Luzardo from his scheduled start due to shoulder stiffness.
