Mets stave off elimination by beating Dodgers 12-6. After David Peterson escaped a 2nd and 3rd and no outs 1st without allowing a run, Pete Alonso homered after a Lindor single and a Nimmo walk to give the Mets a 3-0 lead. Mets added 5 more in the 3rd highlighted by a Starling Marte 2-run double, a Francisco Alvarez an RBI single, and a Francisco Lindor RBI triple. Mets added 2 in the 4th, 1 in the 6th and 1 in the 8th. They needed all of those runs as David Peterson, making his first start since September 29th, tired after 3.2 innings. Ryne Stanek saved the day by throwing 2.1 innings and allowing a Mookie Betts HR with no walks. Edwin Diaz threw the last 2 innings.
Brian Joura Mets360: "The Mets banged out 14 H and added 5 BB and 3 HBP. And they finally got some hits with RISP, as they went 5-19 in that key metric. It doesn’t sound like much but after going 0-10 on Thursday, it was like a godsend. By comparison, the Dodgers – who came into the game batting .333 with RISP – went 1-7."
Laura Albanese Newsday: Three takeaways from Mets' Game 5 win over Dodgers in NLCS. "1. We’re saying there’s a chance... this gives them a difficult — but not impossible — avenue to a World Series. In Game 6, Sean Manaea, who handled the Dodgers well in Game 2, will be on the hill against a bullpen game. That sets up Luis Severino to be the Mets' Game 7 starter if it gets that far...2. Alvarez might be back...went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI...3. Everything is going to have to go right for this ride to keep rolling."

Metsmerized Online: Reliving the 2000 Mets: Who Let the Mets Out?
1986 |
At Shea Stadium, Steve
Crawford is the winning pitcher in the Red Sox' 9-3 victory over the Mets
in Game 2 of the World Series. The right-handed reliever, who was 0-2 before
the start of the postseason, becomes the first hurler to win a Fall Classic
contest after being winless during the regular season. |
1999 |
The Braves stroll into a World
Series berth with their 10-9 walk-off victory against the Mets at Turner
Field in Game 6 of the NLCS. Atlanta has their ticket punched to the Fall
Classic when Kenny Rogers
issues a base on balls to Andruw
Jones with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 11th inning
to force in Gerald
Williams with winning run. |
2006 |
For a new generation of fans, the
term "the Catch" may conjure up memories of Endy
Chavez's NLCS Game 7 leaping catch at Shea's left-field fence with his
outstretched glove, grabbing a ball destined to be a Scott
Rolen two-run home run, and starting an unbelievable double play. The
heroics are overshadowed in the ninth inning as Yadier Molina hits a two-run
homer and Carlos
Beltran, who has the best HR ratio (11/81) in postseason history, looks
at a third strike with the bases loaded with Mets, giving the Cardinals a 3-1
victory and the pennant. |
10/19/2006 With Game 7 of the NLCS tied at 1 in the top of the 6th, Endy Chavez turns a double play by robbing Scott Rolen of a go-ahead home run and doubling Jim Edmonds off first. 13 years later, this is seen as one of the best plays in the history of the Mets. pic.twitter.com/Rl1se1MxDr
