​

Mets pass the baton, refuse to go down swinging in zero-strikeout showing​

New York becomes 1st team since 2002 Angels to avoid striking out in a postseason game​

The Mets faced elimination on Friday night at Citi Field as they took on the Dodgers in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Not only did New York avoid an end to its exciting postseason run, but it did so in historic fashion.

By not striking out at all in their 44 plate appearances during a 12-6 win over Los Angeles, the Mets became the first team since the 2002 Angels to avoid striking out in a postseason game -- that Angels lineup from 22 years ago did not strike out in an 11-10 win over the Giants in Game 2 of the World Series.

The zero-strikeout performance by the Mets’ lineup on Friday was the third such occurrence in the postseason during the expansion era (since 1961) and the 11th in MLB postseason history overall. This was also just the third time in postseason history that a team scored 10-plus runs without striking out, joining those 2002 Angels and the 1960 Pirates, who did not strike out in their 10-9 Game 7 victory -- won on Bill Mazeroski's walk-off home run.

For a team that had been limited to just two combined runs over the two previous games in the series, the Mets finally broke out of their offensive slump. Starling Marte led the way with four hits, including three doubles, and Pete Alonso crushed a three-run homer to center field in the first inning to open the scoring.

This year’s Mets will hope to follow in the 2002 Angels’ footsteps in more ways than one. That Angels club trailed San Francisco in the World Series, 3-2 -- the same position in which the Mets find themselves as they head to Dodger Stadium for Game 6 of the NLCS on Sunday.
The 2002 Angels won Game 6 and Game 7. If the ’24 Mets can do the same, they’ll keep alive their dream of winning the franchise’s first World Series championship in 38 years.

Disappointing but considering this was supposed to be a throwaway season how can you think this was anything but great? We're talking real Mets baseball well into October, it feels great.

The young guys look promising. Go all in on bullpen and starting pitching and we'll hopefully be right back here a year from now.
