The Mets may have lost on Sunday, but Mark Vientos made National League history in Game 2.
On Sunday evening, it was Mark Vientos's turn in the batter's box with the game on the line, and he delivered an electric clutch hit, tying the game at 6–6 with a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning.Vientos, 24, became the youngest player in National League history to record three or more extra base hits in a single postseason game.
After walking in the fifth and striking out in the seventh, Vientos came back to the plate in the ninth and delivered one of the biggest at-bats of his career. His two-run shot off Matt Strahm tied the game, though the Phillies bounced back to secure a win in the bottom of the ninth.
