 We finally started our NL playoffs and the Mets brought in Edwin Diaz in the 8th to strikeout the side, the Mets rallied for two in the 9th to take a 6-5 lead over the Padres, then Diaz recorded another 1-2-3 inning for the Game 1 win.

The only down side for the Mets is out playoff rules are if a reliever pitches to more than 5 batters he is out for the next game so they will play Game 2 of the best-of-3 without him.

The Padres had a 5-2 lead until Lindor singled and Soto homered in the 6th to make it 5-4. The homer was impressive because it was on a deep drive on his card, which at PETCO Park is only a homer on an 11-24, so a 25-88 would have been caught to end the inning and the Padres would have won 5-4.

After the Padres won the 2nd game 5-3 a pitchers duel went late to decide Game 3.

For the second time in the series a Mets star, this time Lindor, hit a deep drive and his also went out, this time on a 14 to fall within the 11-24 home run range. The Mets therefore won 2 of 3 games because of drives that went out of the spacious San Diego Stadium. Both Soto and Pete Alonso hit additional homer runs that were clean shots in the Home Run ranges on their cards. That gave the Mets four homers in the series, and the Padres did not hit any home runs, managing only four doubles. 

The Mets Advance and here are the scoresheets. The picture of the playing cards in the setup is fun because we have cards from a year that Statis-Pro had 4-sided cards all in different colors. We shuffle them all in different directions and play through all four sides, then on the second time they go through the deck it is like the photo of the cards - all lined up to go through the black font, then blue, then green and then red. The photo was the deck when we had just gotten through all the black cards, and were just starting to flip over to use the blue side.
