The Mets actually competed well in this series, being out-scored by the clear best team in the league only 20-23 in their place. But baseball is not about margin of victory and they lost 3 of 4 games due to poor work by the bullpen, which gave up 15 runs. in 4 games. The Met's increasing dependence on the home run continued: 14 of their 20 runs were scored on long balls, (70%), whereas the Dodgers scored 10 of 23 runs that way, (43%). [/QUOTE]
