Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against the Mets left-hander, certainly a key — but not everything — in containing this scary Dodgers lineup.
LOS ANGELES — Sean Manaea may have put the Mets in a good position Monday just by the manner in which he handled the Dodgers’ leadoff hitter.
Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani reacts after flying out against the Mets in the fifth inning during Game 2 of the NLCS.“ was not only getting ahead, but staying on the attack,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “A perfect example was the way he went after Ohtani the first couple of at-bats. I thought everything was working.”
The outfielder has been dealing with plantar fasciitis since May and aggravated the injury during the NLDS against the Phillies, according to Mendoza. On Sunday, Nimmo was removed for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning with the Mets trailing by nine runs.Mendoza said the injury bothers Nimmo the most when he slows down from jogging, but running full-speed isn’t a problem.
