The Mets were able to beat Clayton Kershaw in last year's playoffs. They've yet to do it in the regular season.
With Bartolo Colon looking for a third straight win, the Mets get another shot at the Dodgers' ace in Thursday night's series finale against at Chavez Ravine.
Kershaw (4-1, 2.04 ERA) struck out 11, but allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings of a 3-1 home loss to New York in Game 1 of the NL Division Series. Almost three months earlier, the left-hander, who avenged that defeat in Game 4, improved to 6-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.
