The New York Mets' magic continues. Francisco Lindor hit a grand slam in the sixth inning to lift his squad to the National League Championship Series.
Stay comfortable, New York Mets fans. Your magic carpet ride continues. The Metropolitans, who are reliving their 'Miracle' nickname from the infamous 1973 season, are headed to the NLCS after taking Game 4 of a division series against the Philadelphia Phillies, and they did it in wild fashion. The Mets did not get the big hit early. They loaded the bases in both the first and second innings but came away scoreless.
The Mets are starting to feel like a team of destiny. New York had a chance to be eliminated from postseason contention on the final day of the season, but the Mets split a wild doubleheader to clinch. Then, in their wild-card series, they were two outs away from going home. Trailing 2-0, Pete Alonso belted a three-run homer. It was the first in MLB history by a player when his team was trailing in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game.
The Mets have had a wild schedule, at one point playing six games in five days, three of which were postseason contests. Now they can relax until Sunday and await the winner of the Padres-Dodgers series. San Diego leads the series 2-1, with Game 4 later Wednesday in San Diego.
