Fiery Start for Mighty Mets
The New York Mets started the game blazing with power, as Pete Alonso hammered a solo home run in the top of the second inning, sending the ball soaring 408 feet into right center!
The momentum didn't stop there. Brandon Nimmo contributed with another homer in the third inning, a smashing 391-footer over center field. Not to be outdone, Starling Marte immediately followed with a 371-foot blast to left, putting the Mets up 3-0 early. The Mets were rolling as Brett Baty chipped in with a sacrifice fly, scoring Alonso to stretch the lead to 4-0. 
Dodgers Fight Back
But in the bottom of the third, the Dodgers clawed back. Mookie Betts doubled, bringing home a run, while Will Smith and Teoscar Hernández each contributed with RBIs to tighten the game to 4-3.
The Mets pitching held firm through the next few innings, keeping the Dodgers at bay and maintaining a narrow lead despite giving up hits.Heartbreak Late in the Game
The game took a dramatic turn in the bottom of the eighth. The Dodgers rallied back with Betts scoring and a throwing error by Baty allowing another runner to cross the plate, tying the game at 5-5.
A clutch single from former Met Michael Conforto brought in the go-ahead run, putting the Dodgers ahead 6-5. Despite a valiant effort in the ninth, highlighted by Francisco Alvarez getting on base, the Mets couldn’t muster the final push, and the Dodgers sealed their victory. 
Still Proud, LGM! 
Though the game slipped away from us in the final innings, the Mets showed heart and grit with a powerful start and resilient defense. We'll keep pushing. Let's Go Mets!
