Francisco Lindor went yard in the 1 at bat of the game and set the tone for New York in Game 2 as the Mets evened their series with LA knocking off the Dodgers and specifically their bullpen 7-3. After the Lindor smash in the 1 inning off Ryan Brasier, Mark Vientos smacked a grand slam in the 2 off Landon Knack to account for a majority of the runs. Sean Manaea started for New York and was solid allowing 2 hits and 3 runs (2 earned) over 5 innings. Max Muncy went deep for one of the Dodgers few highlight Monday afternoon in Southern California.
The scene shifts to the East Coast for Game 3 Wednesday. Luis Severino gets the ball for the Mets and Walker Buehler will start for the Dodgers.
