Wednesday night at Wrigley Field, the Mets clinched the 2015 NL pennant with their Game 4 win over the Cubs (NYM 8, CHC 3). New York swept the best-of-seven series. They'll play either the Blue Jays or Royals in the World Series beginning next week.
To the surprise of no one, Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy was named the series' Most Valuable Player. He had an incredible series, going 9 for 17 (.529) with four home runs in the four games. Murphy has gone deep in six straight games dating back to the NLDS.
In nine postseason games overall, Murphy has gone 16 for 38 (.421) with seven home runs. He went 4 for 5 with a home run in the Game 4 win over the Cubs.
