Dodgers Prepare for NLCS Game 2 against Mets

The Los Angeles Dodgers are on a 33-inning scoreless streak as they enter Game 2 of the 2024 National League Championship Series against the New York Mets, having won Game 1 decisively 9-0, marking the largest shutout in Dodgers postseason history. Fans at Dodger Stadium are excited, with festivities including mariachi music and a special postseason menu. The Mets, resilient after a rocky start to the season, have made it to the NLCS for the first time since 2015, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers in earlier playoff rounds. Right-hander Kodai Senga is set to start for the Mets, who have overcome many challenges this season under first-year manager Carlos Mendoza. The series winner will advance to the World Series, with a storied history between the two teams dating back to their 1988 NLCS matchup. Both teams are poised for an exciting best-of-seven series, with Game 2 scheduled for Monday afternoon.
