Game 5:  Gausman vs Wainwright.  Rematch of game as Mets need a win.  After trading 
zeroes for 2 and half innings, Grossman and Brown reach to lead-off 3rd, and then Austin 
Barnes launches a 3-run homer to make it 3-0 LA and set the fans crazy.   Once again as 
in game 1 Wainwright cruises through 5 innings.  In 6th, the Mets stage a rally and plate 
1 with a 2-out double by Brantley to chase Waino.  Buxton singles in Brantley to make it 
3-2, but Loup gets Lopez to ground out to end threat.  Both teams relievers dance through 
next 2 innings, but in top of 9th , Mets get two walks with no outs off Watson and 
Staumont.  Joe hits into a double-play, with tying run moving to 3rd.  After a walk to 
Arraez, Juan Soto lined a single to tie it, but Staumont gets Kiki Hernandez to end it 
tied 3-3.   In bottom of the 9th Graveman comes on for Mets but PH Lamont Wade works a 
leadoff walk.  Sosa then bunts him to 2nd, but Graveman strikes out Grossman for the 2nd 
out. With Seth Brown up, Mets bring in the lefty Martin, but Brown lines a single to 
right to plate the run and send LA to the NLCS. LAD 4, Mets 3.

Great series and – as always – fun to play Pat.   Frankly,  Dodgers got lucky as Mets 
were better team, but all the breaks seem to go our way.  Especially 2 key lefty-on-
lefty matchups where Wade and Brown (game 5) came through with critical hits (both off 
Martin who pitched in all 5 games, getting only 1 out, and surrendering 6 hits). Series 
MVP was Trea Turner who slashed .476/.522/.524 with 6 SB and 5 runs scored.   Mitch 
Garver and Seth Brown had great series as well, but in fewer PA. Both Daulton Varsho 
(1.003) and Nicky Lopez (1.150) had great series for New York.

Again thanks to Pat for playing and congrats for making the playoffs.  He had awesome 
team (and it looks good for next year too!)
