Mets Beat Dodgers, Advance to NLCS

The Mets beat the Dodgers Thursday night in Game 5 of the NLDS to advance to the NLCS against the Cubs. For all the talk of Jacob deGrom vs. Zack Greinke, it was Daniel Murphy who was the hero of the game, giving the Mets the win with his bat and base running.

Daniel Murphy’s homer off Zack Greinke gave Mets the lead in sixth inning of Game 5 of the NLDS.

The Mets jumped out to an early lead against Zack Greinke. Curtis Granderson led off the game with an infield single; he was originally called out on a close play, but instant replay reversed it.
