New York. In a battle of offenses, the New York Mets defeated the Dodgers 12-6 this Friday and prevented the Los Angeles team from celebrating qualifying for the Major League Baseball World Series.
The Dodgers, in any case, continue to dominate this National League Championship Series 3-2 and on Sunday they will have their second chance to advance, this time in front of their fans in Los Angeles.
At Citi Field in New York, the Mets were proud not to say goodbye to their magnificent season in front of their fans, although the Dodgers put up resistance, especially from Cuban Andy Pagés, who hit two home runs and drove in four runs.
Pagés, 23, is the first rookie for the Los Angeles franchise to hit multiple home runs in a postseason game.
Pete Alonso, a Mets figure of Spanish descent, opened fire with a devastating three-run home run in the first inning.
After Puerto Rican Kiké Hernández scored in the second inning, the local attack exploded in the third with a total of five runs.
Also Puerto Rican Francisco Lindor contributed with a triple to right field that allowed Venezuelan Francisco Álvarez to go through the register.
The young Pagés then made up ground with his first home run in the playoffs, a 127-meter missile to center field, before the Mets took their lead to 10-2 in the fourth inning.
Although the Japanese Shohei Ohtani had a poor night, the fearsome Dodgers offense had not yet said the last word.
Pagés hit his second home run, this time a three-run home run, in the fifth inning and Mookie Betts hit it out of the park again in the sixth to bring the Dodgers within 10-6.
At that point, pitchers Ryne Stanek and Puerto Rican Edwin Díaz stopped the bleeding for the Mets, who sealed the victory with runs from Jesse Winker and Alonso, the latter after a single from the Dominican Starling Marte.
