Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. NEW YORK, NY – For the second time in three games, the Los Angeles Dodgers punched hard.

The Dodgers' offense erupted, and the New York Mets offense was dormant, as Los Angeles took home an 8-0 win to take a 2-1 lead in the National League Championship Series.

The Dodgers got on the board for a 2-0 lead in the top of the second, mostly thanks to a sloppy Mets defense that led to a pair of unearned runs by New York starter Luis Severino.

New York posed a threat in the bottom of the second, but Mets slugger Francisco Lindor struck out with the bases loaded to end that threat.
