LOS ANGELES — Francisco Lindor and Mark Vientos homered as the New York Mets stopped the Los Angeles Dodgers' record-tying postseason scoreless streak in a 7-3 victory on Monday, tying the NL Championship Series at a game apiece.
Lindor added to his storybook season with a leadoff homer in the first inning against Ryan Brasier. Viento delivered during New York's five-run second, connecting for a grand slam against Landon Knack.
The Mets are the first NL team with multiple grand slams in a single postseason since the 2016 Chicago Cubs (also 2). Before Lindor went deep, Los Angeles had a string of 33 consecutive scoreless innings.
Jack Flaherty led the Dodgers to a 9-0 victory in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday night. Sean Manaea opened Game 2 with four shutout innings for New York.
