    Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Mets’ Game 2 win over the Dodgers on Monday :

    Hero

    Mark Vientos used the intentional walk as inspiration.

    After seeing the Dodgers purposely put Francisco Lindor on first base, the third baseman blasted a grand slam that provided all the scoring the Mets would need.

    This version of Luis Severino is just what Mets need after years of Yankees hype: ‘Stuff happens’

    Zero

    Ryan Brasier halted the Dodgers’ scoreless-inning streak, but Landon Knack ended most of their hopes of stealing the game.

    The Dodgers’ expected bulk reliever lasted just two innings in which he let up five runs, including the Vientos grand slam.

    Mark Vientos’ epic October is only a surprise to everyone else

    Unsung hero

    Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek and Edwin Diaz (right) strung together four innings in which they were not charged with a run, each inheriting a jam and each navigating his way out.

    The Dodgers’ 1-through-5 hitters went a combined 0-for-19 at the plate.

    Sean Manaea and the Mets bullpen either pitched around (the group walking five times) or pitched through (nine strikeouts) LA’s best bats.

    Quote

    “I took it personal.”

    — Mark Vientos, who watched the Dodgers intentionally walk Francisco Lindor and then crushed a grand slam.
