Yoenis Cespedes Blast 431-Foot, 111-MPH Home Run In Mets’ Win Over Dodgers

Cubs rookie Kris Bryant, who hit a two-run shot off Michael Wacha, found it hard to count all the home runs in that game.

So with Utley in the dugout, chants of “We want Utley!” swirled around the ballpark throughout the night. The Dodgers could be eliminated tomorrow night in New York with Clayton Kershaw starting. He has invited eight people to Tuesday night’s game and said he “was definitely thinking about being in [this] spot” when he watched the Mets’ postseason losses in 2000 and 2006.

The Mets can advance to the NLCS with a win tonight in Flushing. For all the talk of retribution for Chase Utley’s slide that broke Ruben Tejada’s leg in Game 2, a beanball would’ve set a few kind of tone. His agent, Joel Wolfe, said “a two-game suspension for a legal baseball play is outrageous and completely unacceptable”. “I don’t know how long a leash he’s going to have, but we’ve got to make him work as we did the other day in Los Angeles”.

“Logan Verrett looked at me and said, ‘Dude, you might be going to New York, ‘” Reynolds said.

Harvey labored through five innings in his first outing since missing a mandatory postseason workout. All Mattingly could say after Monday night’s game was that Brett Anderson and Alex Wood have been “OK”.

The Mets took advantage of his mediocre stuff, tagging him for six earned runs in three innings.

With two outs in the inning, Anderson had a chance to exit the frame without further damage, but instead allowed a first-pitch laser off the center field wall for a bases-clearing double, giving the Mets a 4-3 lead. Cespedes’ three-run homer in the fourth made it 10-3.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley may not be the only “villain” New York Mets fans love to hate.

The horde of photographers, television cameramen and iPhone-wielding reporters turned its attention toward the tarp covering the first-base line at Citi Field at about 6:15 p.m. Monday.

The Dodgers scored three runs in the top of the second after four consecutive singles to start the inning.

Reynolds spent time with the Mets during spring training, batting.

Before the first pitch, commissioner Rob Manfred met with delegates from both teams to try to prevent any carry-over from the events of Saturday. Utley made an extremely late and unsafe slide – he didn’t begin his slide in an attempt to break up the play to allow a run to score until he was essentially even with second base – and while he ultimately it helped the Dodgers rally for a 5-2 win to tie the series at 1, his barrel roll into Tejada was a dirty move.

Playing away from home, the Mets proved that their 90 wins in the season is proof of how good they are as they beat the Dodgers 3-1. “We’re going to pick him up, and we’re excited to be back at home”.

Kendrick, the regular starter, remained at second base, and Mattingly said Utley was on the bench not for safety but exclusively “baseball reasons”.

When one of Breuer’s Facebook friends commented that Utley’s slide was clean and within the rules of the game, the comedian proceeded to dismantle his thinking with a vicious reply. One more like that and it won’t matter when Utley’s appeal is heard, because his season will be over anyway.
