Mets vs. Dodgers score, live updates: NLCS Game 2 in Los Angeles as New York tries to even the series

Posted by Admin October 14, 2024 Sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff has been the talk of MLB over the past three games, with L.A.’s pitchers tying an MLB Postseason record with 33 straight scoreless innings. They’ll try to keep the New York Mets off the board again in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Monday in Los Angeles (4:08 p.m. ET on Fox).

It wasn’t just the Dodgers’ arms that dominated in the 9-0 Game 1 win; the stars at the top of the Los Angeles lineup did the heavy lifting on offense. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman combined to go 5-for-11 with three walks and five RBI. Enrique Hernández also added two hits and two runs at the bottom of the lineup.

Ryan Brasier (1-0, 4.91 ERA, 3.2 IP in 2024 playoffs) will open for the Dodgers, a role he’s taken on just four other times this year, all in the regular season. Sean Manaea (1-0, 2.25 ERA, 12.0 IP) gets the ball for the Mets.

Dodgers seeking MLB history

A scoreless first inning for Ryan Brasier would extend the Dodgers’ streak of consecutive scoreless innings pitched to 34 this postseason, which would be a new MLB record. The Dodgers haven’t allowed a run since the second inning of Game 3 against the San Diego Padres in the NLDS.

The Dodgers have since pitched three consecutive shutouts, including Sunday’s Game 1 win over the Mets. That adds up to 33 consecutive scoreless innings, which is tied for the longest postseason streak in MLB history. One more inning, and the record will belong to the Dodgers alone.

Bullpen game for Dodgers

Reliever Ryan Brasier will get the start on the mound for the Dodgers in a bullpen game. The decision means that Walker Buehler is projected to start Game 3 in New York.
