LOS ANGELES — As Mets left-hander Sean Manaea took the mound in Game 2 of the NL Championship Series at Dodger Stadium, his family was laying his late Aunt Mabeline Mullins Glasshagel to rest in Wanatah, Ind.

Mark Vientos drove a ball into the right field seats for a grand slam that led the Mets to a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Manaea pitched seven brilliant innings as the Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2, in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Tuesday to take a 2-1 series lead. He held the Phillies to just one run and three hits. He walked two batters and also hit two batters. But that was the extent of the damage. Manaea struck out six.
