October 9 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA
NL Division Series
TBS
What a phenomenal postseason debut for Jacob deGrom.
The right-hander struck out 13 (the most ever for a pitcher in his debut) in seven shut out innings as New York won 3-1 to steal home field advantage.
deGrom retired the final 11 batters he faced, on the road, in his first postseason start.
Incredible performance for the Mets, who were playing in their first postseason since The Beltran Game in 2006.
David Wright had a big, two-out, two-run single in the seventh to put the Mets up 3-0. Clayton Kershaw had walked the bases loaded with two outs before Pedro Baez relieved and served up the sharp single up the middle.
Kershaw was charged with all three earned runs in 6 2/3 innings pitched, though he pitched well (11 K) & actually lowered his career playoff ERA to an even 5.
