The Dodgers entered tonight as winners of eight of their last nine games, as well as their last three series, and possessing the lead in the NL West. They aimed to keep that going as they welcomed the Mets to town for a three-games series. This always seemed destined to be a low-scoring affair, and it was until a big blow late for the Mets led to the Dodgers taking a 4-2 loss.

Jacob deGrom started the game for the Mets, so it was always going to be a struggle for runs, and quite frankly I was just hoping they could drive his pitch count up to get him out of there as early as possible.
