Overview

  • Alonso homered in the first and eighth innings—his 13th and 14th of the season—to drive in five runs for the Mets.
  • Griffin Canning allowed three hits with seven strikeouts over six scoreless innings, earning his first win since May 5.
  • Los Angeles’ lineup faltered as its Nos. 2–5 hitters went a combined 0-for-15 with one walk and managed only Andy Pages’ solo homer in the ninth.
  • The Dodgers remained atop the NL West at 37–25 despite the setback but have key starters Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki along with relievers Blake Treinen and Evan Phillips on the injured list.
  • Left-hander David Peterson will face right-hander Landon Knack in Thursday’s series finale as the Mets bid to clinch at least two wins in the three-game set.
