You can’t expect to win a game at baseball’s highest level, especially during the postseason, when you do this:
This is what the National League West Division champion Los Angeles Dodgers, the team considered by many to be the best in the game, did in their embarrassing 12-6 loss to the NL East Division champion New York Mets in Game-5 of the 2024 National League Championship Series at Citi Field on Friday evening.
The highlight from Friday’s disaster were the two home runs hit by 23-year-old Dodgers rookie outfielder Andy Pages, who drove in four of those six Dodgers runs.
The silver lining to this otherwise dark cloud is that Game-6 of the best-of-seven series will be played at Dodger Stadium on Sunday at 5:08 PM PDT, so there’s that.
Play Ball!
