Mets defeat Dodgers thanks to batting performance

The New York Mets rebalanced the series by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road.

On October 15, Korean time, the Mets won 7-3 in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, earning their first win in the series. The series between the two teams, which will be held in New York starting on the 17th, is now tied with 1 win and 1 loss.

In this game, the Mets shook up the Dodgers’ pitching staff, which had led the team to 33 scoreless innings and three consecutive shutouts, from the first inning. In the top of the first inning, Francisco Lindor took the lead with an exciting solo home run. In addition, in the top of the second inning, Tyrone Taylor’s double with one out and bases on first and second added one run, and with the bases loaded and two outs, third baseman Mark Vientos‘ grand slam gave the team an instant victory.

The Dodgers also counterattacked. In the bottom of the 5th inning, Max Muncy chased a run with a solo home run, and in the 6th inning, Tommy Edman’s 2 RBI hit made up the score to 6-3.

However, the balance of the game had already collapsed. The Mets put a wedge in the game with Pete Alonso’s additional score in the final strike of the top of the 9th inning.

On this day, the Mets maintained their victory after starting pitcher Sean Maneya allowed two runs in five innings, and then three bullpen members each pitched 1.1 scoreless innings.

The Dodgers were hampered by the fact that their top batting line consisting of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernández, and Freddie Freeman, which they had been proud of this season, performed poorly on this day with a total of no hits in 15 at-bats and eight strikeouts.

Yankees defeat Guardians and cruise to 2 consecutive wins

The New York Yankees continued their two-game winning streak by winning Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Guardians at home.

On October 15th, Korean time, the Yankees defeated the Guardians 5-2 at Yankee Stadium in New York, taking a significant lead in the series with 2 wins and no losses. The Yankees will play three games in enemy territory with two wins first.

On this day, the Yankees’ starting pitcher Carlos Rodon’s pitching was outstanding. He struck out nine in six innings and held the opposing batting line to just one run.

At the plate, Juan Soto scored the first run with a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning, and Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge both succeeded in scoring thanks to a series of wild pitches from opposing pitchers in continued offensive opportunities. In the 7th inning, when the team was ahead 4-1, Stanton hit a solo home run, increasing the team’s lead to 4 points.

The Guardians were completely shut out by opposing starting pitcher Rodon, and succeeded in chasing one more run in the 6th inning with Brayan Rocchio’s solo home run and Stephen Kwan hitting a timely hit on second and third base with one out in the top of the 8th inning, but in the end, their firepower This was very lacking.

From the Guardians’ perspective, the recent batting slump of All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez, who hit 41 home runs this season, is very disappointing.

Game 3 of the series between the two teams will be held on October 18 at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
