The Dodgers came into this game with the best DRS in the National League, but you would have never guessed it by the sloppy nature of their play against the Mets. New York, to their credit, capitalized on seemingly ever L.A. mistake, and they emerged with a 5-3 win that helped them secure a series victory against the best team in baseball.
After yesterday’s crisp, 2:19 game that featured pristine play and a classic pitcher’s duel, this game was more of a three-plus hour slog featuring bad baseball and a confusing moment featuring the Citi Field lights that halted play for a few minutes.
