NEW YORK (AP) — Instead of pitching his hometown team into the World Series, Jack Flaherty sent the National League Championship Series back to California.
Dominant in the opener, Flaherty flopped in Game 5.
Pete Alonso hit a three-run homer in the first and the Mets beat up Flaherty for five runs in the third inning of a 12-6 victory Friday night that pulled New York to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
“First time in a while I kind of let the game speed up on me a little bit and didn't make the adjustment in-game that normally gets made,” Flaherty said.
