Mets drop series opener to Dodgers in 13 innings (highlights)

On a rain-soaked Friday night at Citi Field, the New York Mets (30-21) showed fight but ultimately fell short, dropping a 7-5 heartbreaker to the Los Angeles Dodgers (32-19) in 13 innings despite a dramatic ninth-inning rally.

Trailing by three in the ninth, the Mets sparked life into the crowd when Starling Marte and Pete Alonso reached base to start the inning. Jeff McNeil delivered a clutch two-run triple, and Tyrone Taylor followed with a game-tying single off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott, forcing extras.

Edwin Díaz worked a Houdini act in the 10th, escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam with a force at home and a double play. However, New York couldn’t push across a run in their half, stranding runners at second and third. More missed chances followed in the 11th and 12th, with Luis Torrens grounding into a crucial double play to end one of them.

After stellar relief work by Reed Garrett, the Dodgers finally broke through in the 13th off Huascar Brazoban with a Teoscar Hernández double and a Hyeseong Kim RBI single, sealing the win for Los Angeles.

Brett Baty put the Mets on the board with a solo home run in the third, and Alonso added a sacrifice fly in the fourth thanks to an obstruction call on Max Muncy.

Box Score

The Mets look to even the series on Saturday when David Peterson faces Tony Gonsolin at 7:15 p.m.
