The Mets had played a very very tough series with the Dodgers as every game was close, except game 2 when Clayton Kershaw took over but we go over that later.
Game 1:
The Mets after sweeping Oakland head into Dodger Stadium came to play. Peterson would start for the Mets, May for the Dodgers. Peterson would give up a home run to Freddie Freeman a known met killer, 1-0 Dodgers. Than the top half of the 2nd, Daniel Vogelbach would put one over the wall in left center with Canha, 2-1 Mets. Than a immediate response from the Dodgers as newly picked up catcher Austin Wynns would hit a 2 run double, 3-2 Dodgers. Then top 4, McNeil would come up with runners on the corners, he would put one over the shortstop and make it a tied ball game, 3-3. Later in that same inning, Alonso would make his way over to 3rd, and with one out Vogelbach would get his 3rd RBI with a groundout to Vargas, 4-3 Mets. McNeil would be on third later in that same inning, and highly praised Mets’ prospect Brett Baty would come up to bat, he would rip one into right which would score McNeil, 5-3 Mets. Then Bot 5, Freddie Freeman strikes again, 2 run homer this time, tie game, 5-5. Next time the Dodgers would bat, BOT 6, Max Muncy would destroy a baseball 433 ft, 6-5 Dodgers. Peterson would go 6 innings but let up 6 ERs, but would strikeout 6. Lindor would come up top 7 with the bases loaded, Nido would score via the balk, then Lindor would groundout but it would score Nimmo, 7-6 Mets.

Final Score: Mets 8-6.
Game 2
A great offensive game from both team’s in game 1 of the series, we will see if this will carry that on, with Kershaw on the hill for the Dodgers, Megill for the Mets. Bottom 1, J.D Martinez would come up with Freeman on 1st. On the 10th pitch of the at bat, he would launch one over the center field wall, 2-0 Dodgers early. Megill would settle down and Kershaw was dealing for the Dodgers so a good pitching matchup until Bot 3, when Martinez came up again and launched another over the wall this time to right, 3-0 Dodgers. Megill would go 5 innings, let up 7 hits, 3 ERs 4 walks, but he would K 4. Kershaw would fire off 7 innings, 9 K’s no walks and only 3 hits. Kershaw was beating up the Mets lineup all night long. Reyes, Brigham, Curtiss would all appear in the game, Curtiss would struggle giving up a sac fly to Freeman, than Martinez would hit a RBI single up middle 5-0 Dodgers.

Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, The Mets and the Dodgers would play the rubber match of the 3 game series, winner wins the series, loser moves on with the series loss. Scherzer on the mound for the Mets, Syndergaard on the mound for the Dodgers. Both pitchers would be sharp, until the 4th inning when Scherzer tried to come out to the mound, the umpire stopped him and looked at his glove and hand, Scherzer would be ejected, Jimmy Yacabonis would enter. Later that inning Peratla would hit a sac fly that scored Heyward, 1-0 Dodgers. Top 5, Brandon Nimmo would destroy a ball with Alvarez on, it would go 431 FT, a bomb by Nimmo for his 1st of the season, 2-1 Mets. Bats silent until top 8, Tommy Pham with a sac fly would make 3-1 Mets. David Robertson would give up his first run of his met career, with a J.D. Martinez double, Freddie Freeman would score, 3-2 Mets still lead. Top 9, Mark Canha would hit a 2 run double that would score Nimmo, Guillorme. 5-2 Mets. Bottom 9, Adam Ottavino would enter.
