Luis Severino was pitching sensationally and he had not allowed runs in five innings, but Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos were in charge of making three by way of home runs.

Left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm faced third baseman Mark Vientos with a man on board. With a solid swing that drove through left center field, he tied the score at six runs in the ninth inning.
In this way, he becomes the seventh New York Mets player with multiple home runs in a Postseason game. Michael Conforto (2015), Carlos Beltran (2006), Carlos Delgado (2006), Edgardo Alfonzo (1999), Gary Carter (1986) and Rusty Staub (1973) also did it.
