LOS ANGELES — Brodie Van Wagenen saw from a prime seat what a World Series team looks like Monday night at Dodger Stadium and what a superstar Cody Bellinger has become for the Dodgers.
Now he has a much better idea of the mountain his Mets have to climb.
Sure, the 6-1 homestand was a nice excursion for the Mets. It took some of the heat off Mickey Callaway, but the heat is right back on the front burner after the Dodgers beat the Mets, 9-5, to put the Mets back under .500 at 26-27.
