Vientos leads Mets to win

The New York Mets faced a heartbreaking loss against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the NLDS, despite an impressive performance from 24-year-old Mark Vientos. Vientos made history by becoming the youngest player in National League history to hit three extra-base hits in a postseason game, including two pivotal home runs that tied the game in the ninth inning. His clutch hitting has continued to shine in October, following a strong regular season where he hit 27 home runs. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza faced challenges with closer Edwin Díaz, who suffered his first career postseason blown save after allowing a decisive two-run triple. The Mets now head into Game 3 of the series, which will be their first home playoff game in two years, with Vientos emerging as a key player for the team. Despite the loss, Vientos' breakout postseason is a significant silver lining for the Mets.
