Mets Tie NLCS with Dodgers; Series Moves to NY

The New York Mets rallied to even the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at one game apiece with a 7-3 victory in Game 2. Francisco Lindor sparked the Mets with a leadoff home run, while Mark Vientos extended the lead with a grand slam in the second inning, ending the Dodgers' 33-inning postseason scoreless streak. The Dodgers, who had dominated Game 1 with a 9-0 win and tied a record for consecutive scoreless innings, struggled in Game 2 as their bullpen faltered against the Mets' aggressive offense. Sean Manaea pitched effectively for the Mets, and Edwin Diaz secured the win with a four-out save. Dodgers' stars like Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts underperformed, going hitless in crucial moments. The series now moves to New York for Game 3, where both teams will look to gain an edge in the best-of-seven series.
