After splitting two thrilling extra-inning contests to begin their four-game series, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Wednesday, June 4 looking to take an edge in the series. The Mets got a strong performance from Francisco Lindor in the series opener, who homered to begin the contest and drove in what would be the winning run in the 10th inning. The Dodgers hit back in Tuesday's win, with Max Muncy hitting the game-tying home run in the ninth inning before Freddie Freeman delivered a walkoff double in the 10th inning.
