A lot went right for the New York Mets' offense in their 12–6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLCS on Friday night.
Starling Marte led the way, going 4-for-5 with three extra-base hits and three RBIs, and Pete Alonso set the tone with a three-run blast in the first inning. Before long, Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty looked up at the scoreboard with his team trailing 8–1 in the third inning.
