Los Angeles Dodgers take commanding 3-1 NLCS lead following blowout victory over New York Mets
CNN
The Los Angeles Dodgers blew out the New York Mets 10-2 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the NLCS on Thursday in New York.
For the third time in four games, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats proved to be alive and well. The Dodgers blew out the New York Mets 10-2 on the road to take a commanding 3-1 National League Championship Series lead on Thursday night. A raucous New York crowd packed into Citi Field, as members of the 2000 NL pennant team Edgardo Alfonzo and Robin Ventura threw out the first pitch. However, that excitement quickly turned into silence as superstar Shohei Ohtani didn’t waste any time getting the Dodgers on the board, hitting a lead-off home run to quickly put the Mets in a hole. It was the slugger’s second straight game with a homer and the first home run Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana has given up since August 20. Los Angeles’ lead didn’t last very long though as Mets third baseman responded with a solo shot of his own to tie the score at one in the bottom of the first inning.
