According to New York Mets Stats: NYMStats, Lindor became just the seventh shortstop in. "Anytime you can go 1-1 against Kershaw and Greinke in their house, I guess we'll take it," Wright said. This proved to be a major milestone as the 499th and 500th runs batted in of the 28-year-old's career. Eight of Syndergaard's first 36 pitches reached 100 mph or more over the first two innings on an unseasonable 90-degree evening. He struck out nine and walked four in following up Jacob deGrom's 13-strikeout performance in winning Game 1. Syndergaard (0-1) gave up three runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings of his first career postseason start. Andre Ethier had an RBI double in the fourth. Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto hit solo homers in the second, the latter off the right-field pole. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for the save, completing a five-hitter. He struck out eight and walked none a night after teammate Clayton Kershaw fanned 11 while losing his fifth straight postseason game. The Dodgers' Zack Greinke (1-0) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. The action shifts to Citi Field in New York for Game 3 Monday, when Brett Anderson starts for the Dodgers against the Mets' Matt Harvey in the best-of-five series. If you're not protecting yourself or you're not in good position when they come in hard like that, you have a chance of getting hurt."Ĭollins said Wilmer Flores will replace Tejada at shortstop for the rest of the series. Turner called Utley "old-school," saying, "He's a guy that plays balls to the wall and goes in hard. "I'd hate to think that Utley tried to hurt somebody," Torre said. Joe Torre, MLB's chief baseball officer, will examine the play to determine whether anything "excessive" occurred. It definitely seemed like after that play we lost the momentum and they came up with some big hits." And I think the 'neighborhood play' is there to protect players. With that being said, he never touched the bag. In my opinion, he wasn't anywhere close to the bag. "I have a problem with the play on a number of different levels, one being the slide itself. "Only Chase knows going in there what the intent was," third baseman David Wright said. Mets infielder Kelly Johnson called it a "tackle." Asked about the play, second baseman Daniel Murphy said, "Slide would be generous." That caused Tejada to flip over as the tying run scored from third. Murphy flipped to Tejada, who took the throw awkwardly for an apparent force as Utley slid maybe a foot outside of the base and past the bag and slammed into the shortstop with Tejada's back turned to the play.
