The opening game of the Mets’ series with the Dodgers did not get off to an auspicious start for New York, as Dustin May looked strong in setting the side down in the top of the first, while Freddie Freeman got the Dodgers off to an early lead in the bottom of the frame with his first of two home runs off of David Peterson.
This was just the start of what quickly turned into a back-and-forth affair that would feature five lead changes thereafter. The Mets answered right back in the top of the second against Dustin May, as Daniel Vogelbach followed a two out Mark Canha single with his first home run of the year.
