Mets No Match For Dodgers
Here’s the long story short on the Mets game – the Dodgers are just a much better team.
The Mets got homers from Conforto, Wilmer Flores and Curtis Granderson in the first to get out to a 3-0 first inning lead. Seth Lugo would no-hit the Dodgers for 4.2 innings. And, yet, the Mets had no hopes of winning this game.
With a pair of Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger blasts, the Dodgers tied the game in the sixth.
Yasiel Puig homered off Paul Sewald to lead off the seventh giving the Dodgers took the lead and didn’t look back.
In total, the Dodgers hit five homers, including one from Justin Turner, who we should all remember was a player the Mets kicked out the door.
As if things weren’t aggravating enough, Terry Collins found a way to pull Michael Conforto because as we know, if you want to win a game, you pull your best bat from the game.
Game Notes: Amed Rosario was 0-4 marking this as his first hitless game in the majors.
