Jesse Winker’s baserunning blunder cost Mets lone chance for rally in NLCS Game 1
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — On a Sunday night when the Mets’ bats and arms failed them, Jesse Winker’s legs and indecisiveness did, too.
Their best chance at scoring halted strangely, with Winker hung up between second and third base, uncertain of where to go, before he did not fully charge to his base of choice to lowlight a 9-0, NLCS Game 1 smacking at Dodger Stadium.
The Mets already were down six runs in the fifth inning, with every base runner critical, when Winker ran — sort of — his way into an out on the basepaths.
To start the inning, the designated hitter drove a sharp single into right for the Mets’ first hit of the game off Jack Flaherty before Jose Iglesias stuck out his bat and dropped a hit into shallow left center.
Silent most of the game, Mikal Bridges required just one play to make himself heard.
