A boring pitching battle turned into one of the most electric games of the postseason, something about this Mets team, man…
If you checking into the game in the 6th inning, you would’ve seen a pretty uninteresting game. That is, if you like hitting. The game was a pitchers duel, both starters were dealing. Then all of a sudden, things got real interesting.
The Brewers finally broke through when pinch hitter Jake Bauers hit a MONSTER home run to give the Brewers a one-run lead, the next pitch, Sal Frelick sent one deep too. The game went into the ninth with the Brewers up 2-0. No way the Mets could do it again, right? Right?
If they were going to do it, they needed their guy, Francisco Lindor. Luckily enough, he happened to be leading off in the ninth. He worked a walk and took his base, the next man struck out, and then Brandon Nimmo singled to get Lindor to third.
One out, runners on first and third, and the Polar Bear himself walks up to the plate: Pete Alonso. This guy may have the biggest love-hate relationship of any fanbase I’ve ever seen. These fans are never shy about their frustration with Alonso, and they shouldn’t be. He’s really struggled. One at bat may help ease that pain.
Alonso answered the bell. Deep fly ball, back, back, back, gone. Mets 3, Brewers 2. The Mets added one more in the ninth to make it 4-2 and then went into the ninth needing just three outs to advance.
A leadoff single, followed by a strikeout, followed by a double play, game over. Mets vs Phillies, grab the popcorn.
