The Mets’ season came to an end in Los Angeles tonight, as the Dodgers bested them 10-5 in Game 6 of the NLCS. A few months ago, even the suggestion that the Mets might make it this far would have been laughed off. That doesn’t make the end of the season sting any less in the moment, though.
If you had to choose a pitcher to take the mound for a must-win game, it would have been Sean Manaea. Unfortunately, he didn’t have it in this game. He recorded just six outs and was charged with five runs.
