In a historic performance, Dodgers rookie Andy Pages became only the second player in franchise history to hit two home runs in a postseason game, joining Hall of Famer Duke Snider. Despite Pages' efforts, the Dodgers fell to the New York Mets 12-6 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.
Pages, who had struggled earlier in the playoffs, recorded three hits and four RBIs, showcasing his potential against left-handed pitching. The Dodgers now face a crucial Game 6, where they hope to capitalize on Pages' momentum.
Long reliever Brent Honeywell also shone in the game, providing valuable innings to preserve the bullpen for the upcoming match. Despite the loss, both players emphasized the importance of teamwork and resilience as the series continues.
