The New York Mets evened the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it was yet another grand slam that helped win them a postseason game. 

The Mets took down the Dodgers, 7-3, much in part to Mark Vientos belting a grand slam in the top of the second inning to help New York establish a solid cushion. 

Francisco Lindor was the one who hit a grand slam in the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies, which won the Mets Game 4 to advance in the playoffs.

Lindor hit a solo homer to put the Mets on the board in the first inning, but New York would keep things going the next inning when Tyrone Taylor smacked a double to left field to score Starling Marte, making it a 2-0 game. 

Then, the Dodgers decided to walk Lindor intentionally to load the bases so Dodgers pitcher Landon Knack could have a right-on-right matchup against Vientos.

But that proved to be futile, as Vientos battled to the point where Knack threw him a fastball right down the middle, and he didn’t miss a stitch, as he sent it over the right-center field wall.

Vientos, the 24-year-old rookie who set a franchise record with nine hits in the NLDS, came up clutch for his team yet again and it was just what they needed after dropping Game 1 to the Dodgers,
