Dodgers vs. Mets score, live updates: Los Angeles looks to advance to World Series, close out New York in NLCS Game 5

The New York Mets are officially on the ropes after another dominant performance from the Los Angeles Dodgers in their 10-2 Game 4 win on Thursday night. With the Dodgers holding a 3-1 series lead, on the cusp of advancing to their fourth World Series in the last eight seasons, the Mets could be down to their final 27 outs if they can’t summon the kind of offensive showing that won them Game 2 7-3. On the series, Los Angeles has outscored New York 30-9.

The Dodgers send Jack Flaherty to the mound, and the righty will look to continue his postseason success (1-1, 2.92 ERA, 8 SO, 12.1 IP) in a pivotal Game 5. Meanwhile, the Mets will pin their hopes on lefty David Peterson, who’s been solid for New York in short outings this October (1-0, 2.08 ERA, 5 SO, 8.2 IP).

  • And then Mookie Betts hits a catchable ball to right field, but Starling Marte bobbles it while sliding for the catch. The Dodgers suddenly have runners on second and third with no outs to start the game.

  • Shohei Ohtani broke his 0-for-22 streak with the bases empty with a leadoff homer yesterday and he gets another hit today, this time a single past a diving Jeff McNeil. McNeil is starting at second today, which is his first time playing defense in more than a month.

  • David Peterson throws a first-pitch slider to Shohei Ohtani and we’re off at Citi Field.

  • Francisco Lindor is getting the live version of his walk-up music. Jose Iglesias should try to do it too.

    Former Mets pitcher Matt Harvey is throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for Game 5:

    In the postseason (during the Mets’ 2015 run to the World Series), Harvey compiled a 2–0 record and 3.04 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings.
