MILWAUKEE — Jose Iglesias changed the tune of the Mets' season, after nearly 1 1/2 years spent languishing in the minor leagues. His personality and Latin pop song helped shake the Mets out of their early funk, and he slid headfirst into a starring role in New York's return to the postseason. Iglesias slapped his left hand on first base ahead of pitcher Joel Payamps' foot, reaching on a two-out infield single as the tying run scored and sparking a five-run rally in the fifth inning that carried the Mets over the Milwaukee Brewers 8-4 in the opener of their NL Wild Card Series.
