**Dodgers Fall to Mets, Series Tied at 1-1 in NLCS**
The New York Mets evened the National League Championship Series at 1-1 by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 in the second game of the series. This victory came after the Mets were shut out in the opening game at Dodgers Stadium.
The Dodgers, initially boasting an impressive streak of 33 scoreless innings, sought to further this record but faced a challenge when manager Dave Roberts opted to start reliever Ryan Brasier. Francisco Lindor quickly put the Mets ahead, hitting a solo home run to right field, breaking the Dodgers’ streak.
In a powerful second inning, Mets’ Mark Vientos extended their lead to 6-0 with a massive home run. Although the Dodgers attempted a comeback in the fifth and sixth innings with a solo homer from Max Muncy and a two-RBI single by Tommy Edman, it was insufficient to overtake the Mets.
The NLCS action now moves to Citi Field for game three, scheduled for Wednesday, October 16th, at 5:08 PM. The expected starting pitchers are Walker Buehler for the Dodgers and Luis Severino for the Mets.
