NEW YORK -- New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is looking for the right combination of hitters to push across a few more runs in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, starting four lefties including second baseman Jeff McNeil and designated hitter Jesse Winker.
For McNeil, 32, it is his first postseason start this month.
"Trying to give a different look to our lineup, an extra lefty there today," Mendoza said Friday afternoon.
McNeil hit .238 during the regular season, playing in 129 games.
