Manager Dave Roberts said on Friday afternoon that he was aware that his Dodgers in Los Angeles were in the middle of her most demanding section of the season – but he was not annoyed.
“Wit for tonight and the start of this game and take the parts and do it the next day,” said Roberts.
The Dodgers could be better positioned than the New York Mets to do this on Saturday evening.
The Dodgers will try to win a series win if they visited the METS for the middle game of a three-game set between the rivals that hit the National League Championship series last year. (Los Angeles won, four games up to two.)
The right-handed man of Dodgers, Tony Gonsolin (2-0, 4.05 ERA), is to oppose the left-hander David Peterson (2: 2, 2.86 ERA) on Saturday.
On Friday evening-to-death, in the early Saturday morning Hatte Teoscar Hernandez in the 13th Inning for the Dodgers a starting art, RBI Double, who wasted a three-run inning tour before scored a 7: 5 victory.
The game ended at 12:56 p.m. local time and lasted 4 hours, 8 minutes-without a rain delay of 98 minutes in the third. The teams combined to use 40 players, including 17 pitchers and 24 runners (12 each).
After the Mets had scored three times in the ninth Tanner Scott, a quartet of Dodgers Pitchers New York kept for a goal in the last 4 2/3 innings. The winner Luis Garcia, the eighth Los Angeles Pitcher, threw 2 1/3 innings and undressed jams loaded from the bases in 11th and 12th.
The victory was the third time in a row for the Dodgers, whose trip to New York marked the second of nine series against teams that started the week with a winning record.
“It will be a good test for us,” said Roberts on Friday afternoon. “I can’t run away from playing some good teams.”
The METs could not run away that they would achieve an impressive comeback, but also wasted many options late on Friday and early Saturday.
New York had only three goals against a trio from Dodgers Pitchers before collecting three goals in front of Scott, who only highlighted one in the ninth. But the Mets were hit in their last 17 record appearances with a runner on the base when they had lost in eight games for the sixth time.
“It is always heartbreaking to lose this way,” said Mets outfield Brandon Dimo, who left the game after the rain delay due to a stiff neck. “The boys will take this evening and try to group newly, but they are ready to go (Saturday). I have all the confidence in the world.”
The battles for late inning continued a discouraging trend for the mets, which this season only beat 0.223 with runners, in front of only the Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies, which have the worst records in the majors.
“They take good bats,” said Jeff McNeil, who had three times triple in the ninth triple triple. “Sometimes they fall, sometimes not.”
Neither Gonsolin nor Peterson took the decision in their previous starts last Sunday. Gonsolin gave up four runs over four innings when the Dodgers fell 6: 4 in the Los Angeles Angels, while Peterson allowed two runs (one deserved) over six inner rings in the 8-2 defeat of the Mets against the New York Yankees.
Gonsolin is 1-0 with an ERA of 0.82 in two career against the Mets, while Peterson is against Dodgers with an ERA of 5.74 ERA in four games of the regular season (three starts). He had a 6.00 ERA in two games (a start) against Los Angeles in the NLCs last year.
