Dodgers vs Mets live updates: NLCS Game 2 time, lineups, how to watch MLB playoffs

LOS ANGELES — After a blowout opener, the National League Championship Series continues with Game 2 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets on Monday.

Sunday night’s Game 1 was far from a contest as the No. 1 seed in the NL jumped on Mets starter Kodai Senga in the first inning and New York never recovered. The Dodgers offense scored nine runs by the end of the night while the pitching staff, led by Jack Flaherty, threw its third consecutive shutout of the postseason.

Now in a 1-0 hole, New York will rely on Sean Manaea on the mound, who pitched a brilliant Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. On the other side, Los Angeles will go with a bullpen game started by Ryan Brasier, which was executed perfectly in Game 4 of the NLDS when the team had its back against the wall.

Not only will the Dodgers be looking to take a 2-0 series lead, but the team is chasing some postseason history. The pitching staff has thrown 33 consecutive shutout innings – dating back to Game 3 of the NLDS – tied with the 1966 World Series champion Baltimore Orioles for the longest streak in postseason history.
