Mets-Dodgers series has gotten more chippy as pressure rises
Is the chippiness between the Mets and Dodgers that crept up Friday finished?
“We’ll see,” Francisco Alvarez said Saturday during a workout at Dodger Stadium. “We’ll see what’s the next step.”
Alvarez was in the middle of one incident during Game 5.
Today will be a very emotional game, as the Mets will be able to even the series with today's victory.
No. If the Mets win, they force a game 7.
If the Mets lose, the Dodgers win the series and move onto the World Series to face the Yankees.
The series stands at 3-2, Dodgers. The first one to 4 wins moves on.
So either way, the Mets have to win.
A defeat would be your elimination.
Exactly.
Right now it's 6-3 for the Dodgers. Do you think a victory is still possible?
Los Angeles’ Andy Pages drilled a fourth-inning home run that trimmed the Mets lead to 8-2, and Pages watched it go.
He walked four steps, flipped his bat and then began a slow trot around the bases.
By the time he crossed home plate, Alvarez was waiting for him.
