Mark Vientos' second-inning, two-out grand slam lifted the New York Mets to a Game 2, 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday evening at Dodger
Oct 14, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; New York Mets third base Mark Vientos hits a grand slam against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Landon Knack in the second inning during game two of the NLCS for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jason Parkhurst-Imagn ImagesMark Vientos’ second-inning, two-out grand slam lifted the New York Mets to a Game 2, 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday evening at Dodger Stadium to tie the series at one game apiece.
Manager Carlos Mendoza turned to closer Edwin Diaz, who got Enrique Hernandez to pop out to right to get out of the eighth. Los Angeles opted to intentionally walk Lindor to load the bases with two outs to pitch to Vientos, who went 0-for-4 in Game 1. Like Lindor, Vientos worked a lengthy at-bat, fouling off five pitches to work a 3-2 count. On the ninth pitch, Knack left a four-seam fastball over the heart of the plate and Vientos took it the other way 391 feet to just clear the right-center-field fence to put the Mets up six.
It appeared as though those missed opportunities would come back to bite the Mets as the Dodgers’ bullpen stabilized through Brent Honeywell, who pitched three scoreless innings.
