LOS ANGELES - Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets caught the Los Angeles Dodgers sleeping, using brains and brawn to advance to an NL Championship Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs.
Murphy stole an uncovered third base and went on to score the tying run, then hit a go-ahead homer off Zack Greinke to lead the Mets over the Dodgers 3-2 Thursday night in the decisive Game 5 of their NL Division Series.
"What a team win," Murphy said. "It felt like everybody got a piece of this one."
After the final out, the Mets swarmed the mound, jumping up and down in unison.
