The Mets season came two wins short of a World Series appearance.
The Dodgers advanced to their first Fall Classic since 2020 by virtue of a 10-5 win in Game 6 of the NLCS.
The Amazin's continued a season-long trend of not converting with runners on scoring position hitting just 2 for 9 in such instances.
The Mets jumped out to a 1-0 lead with Pete Alonso's infield single scoring Francisco Lindor from third.
Tommy Edman put Los Angeles ahead with a two-run double in the bottom of the frame.
Edman slugged a two-run shot off Sean Manaea in the third and with reliever Phil Maton replacing him, Will Smith hit a two-run homer.
Mark Vientos answered with a two-run bomb of his own to start the fourth to slice the lead to 6-3.
The teams traded runs in the seventh before the wheels came off in eighth with Kodai Senga giving up three runs for a 10-4 Dodger lead.
The Mets plated a run in their final at bat, but that was all she wrote.
One of the most memorable seasons in Mets history officially came to a close.
A lifetime of great moments on and off the field will stay in the hearts and minds of Mets fans. Hopefully, this is the start of better things yet to come.
