Mets Sweep NLCS, on to World Series!

The Mets will be in the World Series for the first time in 15 years after completing the sweep Wednesday night of the Cubs in the NLCS.

Lucas Duda’s first inning homer helped propel the Mets to the World Series.

As they have done all series long, the Mets jumped out to an early lead. Curtis Granderson led off the game with a single. With two outs he stole second and Yoenis Cespedes walked. Then Lucas Duda, who has been so terrible in this post-season, hit a home run into the seats in right center.
