The New York Mets forced the National League Championship series back to SoCal with a 12-6 thumping of the Dodgers Friday night. As has been the norm in this series, the game was one-sided. None of the five games to date in this series has been closer than 4 runs and the average run differential for the games is 7 runs per game.
New York’s Pete Alonso set the tone in the first inning in Game 5 with a 3-run blast off of Jack Flaherty. The lead grew to 8-1 after a 5-run third for the Mets. Starling Marte drove in a couple runs in Inning #3 with one of his 4 doubles.
Mookie Betts hot series at the plate continued as he homered yet again and Andy Pages sent two over the outfield fence but it was not enough for the Dodgers to close out the series.
Game 6 is Sunday night at Chavez Ravine. Sean Manaea takes the hill for the Mets. The Dodgers are undecided on a starter as they appear poised to make Game 6 a bullpen game.
