And, just like that, we’re back.
After a stressful 9-0 loss in game one of the NLCS, the New York Mets roared back with a 7-3 game two win against the Los Angeles Dodgers thanks to a towering leadoff home run from Francisco Lindor, Mark Vientos’ heroic grand slam and five solid innings from Sean Manaea.
“It was an important game,” manager Carlos Mendoza said in a post-game press conference. “Especially after the way we played last night…it was a quick turnaround but we’ve done that the whole year. We get punched in the face and we continue to find ways to get back up and it will continue to be that way.”
Next up, Mendoza’s clutch club returns home to Flushing’s Citi Field for games three, four and five on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
“Now we get an opportunity to go home and play three…in front of our fanbase,” Mendoza continued. “Expecting (it) to be packed and electric and loud. This is going to be fun.”
If you want to be electric, loud and fun at the House that Grimace Built, last-minute tickets are still available for the trio of high-stakes contests.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one NLCS Citi Field home game was $167 before fees on Vivid Seats.
While that may sound expensive, our team found that NLCS Citi Field prices started at $256 just five days ago. Therefore, if you waited until the ninth inning to purchase tickets, you can now save almost $90 (and maybe even afford an extra burger or two at the Shake Shack in centerfield).

About the New York Mets playoff run
The Mets weren’t even supposed to be competitive this season.
Team owner Steve Cohen wrote off 2024 last August after trading elder co-aces Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. He told the press “basically our vision now is for 2025-2026, ’25 at the earliest, more like ’26. We’re going to be making trades around that.”
Over the offseason, new General Manager David Stearns shored up the rotation inking innings eaters Luis Severino and Sean Manaea. He also signed journeyman middle infielder Jose Iglesias to a minor league contract.
Still, 2024 did not start promisingly; the Mets began the year 0-5.
They never gave up though. And, after Grimace threw the first pitch on June 12, the team went on a tear and refused to look back.
On the last day of the season, they dramatically beat the Atlanta Braves to clinch an NL Wild Card spot over the Arizona Diamondbacks who magically danced their way to the World Series in 2023.
Once the Mets were in the postseason, the team of destiny caught fire and easily beat the heavily-favored Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card series.
Finally, that takes us to the recently-wrapped NLDS. In game one, manager Carlos Mendoza surprisingly started Kodai Senga who promptly gave up a home run to leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber.
All hope was not lost. Just like they’d done all summer, the Mets dug their heels in yet again and delivered a come-from-behind road victory. Although they lost game two — after building an impressive lead — the magical club clinched at home in dramatic fashion.
Now, after a back and forth two games at Dodger Stadium, the Mets are headed home for three huge games at Citi Field.
Luis Severino will start game three for the Amazin’s against Walker Buehler; Mendoza has not announced who will take the mound for game four yet while the Dodgers’ Dave Roberts has penciled in Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
