Heroes, zeros from Mets loss to Dodgers: Max Muncy sets record

Heroes’ outs and the full blitz from the Mets’ 10-2 loss to the Dodgers Thursday night in Game 4 of the NLCS:

Hero

A few Dodgers superstars feuded, but Mookie Betts scored three runs and drove in four more on a four-hit night that capped off a three-way swing of a cycle.

Zero

The postseason magic was gone from Jose Quintana, who had not allowed an earned run in his first two playoff starts before being charged with five in 3 ¹/₃ innings.

Unsung hero

The Dodgers bullpen continued a stellar October, with Evan Phillips, Blake Treinen and Edgardo Henriquez combining for 4 ²/₃ scoreless innings.

Condition: 12

Consecutive times Max Muncy reached base, a postseason record.

The infielder walked three times and singled before Danny Young struck him out in the eighth.

“We stood with our backs against the wall. Now we’re doing it again. We will do our best to add to this story and make it even more magical, but that is certainly not easy.

“Nothing we’ve really done so far has been that. I think that’s the appropriate part of the story.”

— Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo
