NLDS Game 1 Recap

Well game 1 of the NLDS is complete! The Mets beat the Dodgers 3-1 in a pitcher's duel. Here is how it turned out (Mets are on the top, Dodgers are on the bottom):

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  R    H    E
0  0  0  1  0  0  2  0  0  3     5    0
0  0  0  0  0  0  0  1  0  1     7    0

The game got off to a slow start. The Mets got on the board first with a solo homerun in the fourth. Then David Wright hit a two-out two-run RBI single in the seventh inning. The Dodgers were quiet all the way until the eighth inning when Adrian Gonzalez hit an RBI single knocking in Howie Kendrick. However, they could not rally further and only scored the one run. Clayton Kershaw pitched 6.2 innings, gave up three runs, four hits, one homerun, four walks, and struck out eleven batters. Zack Greinke will start for the Dodgers tomorrow.
