In a game marked by defensive miscues and missed opportunities, the New York Mets found themselves trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series after an 8-0 defeat on Wednesday night.
The Mets' troubles began in the second inning when pitcher Luis Severino committed two errors on ground balls, leading to two unearned runs for the Dodgers. Despite loading the bases in the bottom half of the inning, the Mets failed to capitalize as Francisco Alvarez and Francisco Lindor both struck out against Dodgers' pitcher Walker Buehler.
