Los Angeles DodgersvsNew York Mets
LAD 4/NYM 3
Things to say
The Dodgers edged the Mets 4-3 at Citi Field.
01
opener
Dodgers grabbed it 4-3 out in Queens. One-run game the whole way, came down to the last at-bat. Mets just couldn't push the tying run across.
02
key player
The heart of the LA order did the damage again, that middle of the lineup is just relentless. You leave a pitch up and they leave the yard.
03
hot take
Mets skipper went to the pen too early, plain and simple. Starter still had his stuff and they yanked him.
04
deep cut
LA bullpen was the real story though, slammed the door in the late innings. That WHIP out of the pen is nasty right now.
05
exit
Long season for the Mets at 43-62. Anyway, curious if LA keeps rolling in the next one.
The recap
Dodgers grind out a 4-3 nailbiter at Citi Field and just keep rolling — they're 67-38 and playing like it. It was a one-run scrap the whole way, the kind of game where every trip to the pen feels like holding your breath.
The Mets hung around and made it interesting, but at 43-62 they're finding new ways to come up a run short. LA takes it, and the heart of that lineup keeps carrying them.
