New York Mets

New York Mets register one of their most dubious series splits seen in their recent times, as Adonis Medina threw the final sinker and darted under Will Smith’s bat. This was Adonis Medina’s first career save in a game.

New York Mets’ manager Buck Showalter used Edwin Diaz in the eighth inning, But not in the ninth. New York Mets went on to win the game for the first time in 15 years at Los Angeles Dodger’s stadium when sweeping behind in the eighth inning or later. A 5-4 victory in 10 innings made the retainment of the National League’s best record possible.

The Mets cast down their opponents in the first two games, believing that they can go all the way, but who can stop the unavoidable? The Mets went on to finish the series sweep convincingly where they bounced back from behind on each occasion.

“It shows how good we are,” said New York Mets’ hitter J.D. Davis, “We’re just as good as them.” He hit a game-winning RBI double off Craig Kimbrel in the top of the 10th to seal it for his team.
