Vientos, Lindor power Mets to 7-3 triumph to even NLCS at 1-1

 

 Francisco Lindor set the tone with a leadoff home run and Mark Vientos followed with a second inning grand slam to bust the game wide open. Dave Roberts opted to walk Lindor to face Vientos and the Mets third baseman made Los Angeles pay. 

 

Sean Manaua was steady over five innings surrendering two runs and striking out seven Dodgers batters. Edwin Diaz survived a heart attack ninth inning to hold on for a 7-3 win. 

New York returns home for Game 3 for a chance to take the series lead. New York will send Luis Severino to the mound, who chose for the Mets to wear their alternate black jerseys. 

Citi Field will be rocking on the 24th anniversary of the Mets clinching the 2000 NL Pennant.
