Mark Vientos Has Grand Performance In Game 2 Win Over Dodgers
2 months agoNew York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos stepped up in a big way in the 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium to even the series at 1-1. Vientos finished the game 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored. The Dodgers walked Francisco Lindor with two outs and two runners on in the second inning with first base open, and Vientos made the Dodgers pay with a grand slam to blow it open early on. The 24-year-old came into this game swinging a hot bat in his first exposure to the playoffs, going 12-for-32 (.375) with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, two walks and five runs scored in eight games played. He also had a career year in 2024 in his first full season in the big leagues, slashing .266/.322/.516 with an .837 OPS, 27 homers and 71 RBI in 111 games. The Dodgers might give Vientos a little more respect the rest of the series.
