Dodgers vs. Mets score, live updates: Los Angeles looks to advance to World Series, close out New York in NLCS Game 5

Must read

The New York Mets are officially on the ropes after another dominant performance from the Los Angeles Dodgers in their 10-2 Game 4 win on Thursday. With the Dodgers holding a 3-1 series lead, on the cusp of advancing to their fourth World Series in the past eight seasons, the Mets could be down to their final 27 outs if they can’t summon the kind of offensive showing that won them Game 2 7-3. In the first four games of the series, Los Angeles outscored New York 30-9.

In Game 5, the Dodgers have Jack Flaherty on the mound, with the righty looking to continue his postseason success (1-1, 2.92 ERA, 8 SO, 12.1 IP). Meanwhile, the Mets are pinning their hopes on lefty David Peterson, who has been solid for New York in short outings this October (1-0, 2.08 ERA, 5 SO, 8.2 IP).

  • Mets 10, Dodgers 6

    INTERESTING… Mookie Betts leads off the sixth inning with a homer off Ryne Stanek. This could be a tense few innings for Citi Field.

  • Brent Honeywell posts a 1-2-3, four-pitch fifth inning. If momentum exists, it’s on the Dodgers’ side now, but the question is if the target is already too far away.

  • Mets 10, Dodgers 5

    Interesting … Andy Pages hits his second home run of the day, with his second bat flip of the day, and this game just got closer. You’d still rather be in the Mets’ position, but this isn’t a casual day at the office anymore.

  • Kiké Hernández takes a 97.1 mph sinker to the right biceps from Reed Garrett and was definitely in some pain, but he stays in.

    Some Citi Field fans enjoyed watching that after Honeywell’s two HBPs.

  • The fun part for the Mets with this game is the rest of this series doesn’t set up well for the Dodgers. Unless they want to start both Walker Buehler and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on short rest in Games 6 and 7, it’s going to be a bullpen game in Game 6 against Sean Manaea, who was awesome in Game 2.

    And anything can happen in Game 7, which would be Buehler or Yamamoto vs. Luis Severino. This was a low-key important game for the Dodgers after they opted to start Flaherty rather than do the bullpen game today.

  • Mets 10, Dodgers 2

    It’s a full reverse of the score in Game 4 after a sac fly from Brandon Nimmo.

  • Brent Honeywell Jr. hits Tyrone Taylor, too. These definitely aren’t intentional, but he’s making no friends with the Mets today.

  • Mets 9, Dodgers 2

    Jesse Winker hits a triple, and Pete Alonso huffs and puffs his way to score from first. Still no outs for the Mets in the bottom of the fourth. The Dodgers are just trying to get through this game without using any of their top relievers at this point.

  • Brent Honeywell Jr. takes over mop-up duty for Flaherty in the fourth. He hits Pete Alonso with a 93 mph fastball on his second pitch.

  • There goes for a big opportunity for the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman works the count full, then Reed Garrett just catches the outside corner with a curveball to limit the damage in the fourth to Pages’ homer.

    That could have been very bad for the Mets, but they are still up big in Game 5.

  • And then David Peterson walks Teoscar Hernandez to load the bases with two outs. The Mets pull him after 79 pitches (the first time he has thrown more than 50 since Sept. 29) and bring in Reed Garrett to face Freddie Freeman.

  • Shohei Ohtani follows with a bloop single and Mookie Betts with a walk. The Mets probably don’t want to let the Dodgers back in this game.

  • Some lively discussion after the homer as well. Might have something to do with Pages flipping his bat.

  • Mets 8, Dodgers 2

    Andy Pages doesn’t care what the score is. The Dodgers rookie No. 9 hitter clubs a 418-foot homer to center field to cut the lead to six runs.

  • The third inning is over, with the Mets in full control after a five-run frame. The Dodgers offense scored more than eight runs yesterday, but they might just be ready to try to take this series at home.

  • Mets 8, Dodgers 1

    One more from Brandon Nimmo. Considering how the Dodgers have approached every postseason game, it’s impossible to not interpret them keeping Flaherty in as a white flag.

  • Mets 7, Dodgers 1

    Francisco Lindor follows with a stand-up triple. The Mets are 7-for-15 with four walks against Jack Flaherty after going 2-for-22 against him in Game 1.
