    Mets vs. Dodgers score, live updates: At home, Los Angeles looks to advance to the World Series in NLCS Game 6

    Vaseline Posted on

    After the Mets forced a Game 6 with their 12-6 Game 5 victory over the Dodgers at Citi Field on Friday, the National League Championship Series is back in Los Angeles on Sunday, with the home team looking to end any hopes of a full New York World Series.

    The Mets have Sean Manaea on the mound, and the left-hander has been strong for New York this postseason (2-0, 2.65 ERA, 17 strikeouts in 17 innings). For the Dodgers, that’s righty Michael Kopech, who was traded from the White Sox to Los Angeles in July. This is the first time the reliever has opened a game in October, but in 4 1/3 innings this postseason, he has given up just one hit and zero runs, striking out six.

    If the Dodgers win Game 6, they will play the New York Yankees, who finished off the Cleveland Guardians in extra innings in Game 5 in the World Series on Saturday. If the Mets win tonight, Game 7 of the NLCS will be Monday in Los Angeles. Anyway, Game 1 of the World Series is scheduled for Friday.

    • Kopech out, Casparius in

      After Michael Kopech threw 25 pitches in the first inning, Ben Casparius takes over for the Dodgers in the second inning.

    • Alonso makes a great foul play to end the Dodgers threat

      Sean Manaea threw 34 pitches (21 strikes) in the first inning, but was able to limit the damage thanks to an impressive foul trouble by Pete Alonso.

    • Sean Manaea in trouble

      Manaea is close to 30 pitches in the first inning and the Mets bullpen is gearing up.

    • Tommy Edman puts the Dodgers on top

      Tommy Edman’s double gives the Dodgers a 2-1 lead in the first inning. It’s also somehow the first lead change in the series.

    • Kopech threw 25 pitches in the 1st

      This probably wasn’t how the Dodgers envisioned the start of Game 6.

    • Mets strike first!

      Michael Kopech, a former starter reliever, led off for the Dodgers and gave up a walk to Francisco Lindor, who took second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on a grounder by Brandon Nimmo. A Pete Alonso short-hopper scored Lindor to put the Mets on the board.

    • We are just moments away from the first pitch. Michael Kopech is warming up on the mound before a bullpen game for the Dodgers.

    • Los Angeles is ready for Game 6

    • Kodai Senga is expected to play a relief role

      Kodai Senga wasn’t good in his Game 1 start, giving up three runs on two hits and four walks in 1 1/3 innings. Still, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expects Senga to pitch in relief in Game 6 – or Game 7.

    • Sprained ankle affecting Freddie Freeman’s swing mechanics

      Fox’s Tom Verducci explained how Freddie Freeman’s sprained right ankle affects his swing. That’s why Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled him from the Game 6 lineup.

    • Mets lineup, Game 6

      The Mets are rolling with the same lineup that scored twelve points in Game 5.

      Left-hander Sean Manaea gets the start. In Game 2, he allowed two runs over five innings with seven strikeouts and four walks.

    • Dodgers lineup, Game 6: Michael Kopech opens, Freddie Freeman sits

      Reliever Michael Kopech opens a bullpen game for the Dodgers. He hasn’t allowed a run in five postseason appearances.

      First baseman Freddie Freeman will face Mets left-hander Sean Manaea and rest his sprained ankle. He will be available to pinch-hit.

      Who will start Game 7, if necessary? The Dodgers hope it doesn’t come to that.
