The New York Mets have advanced to Major League Baseball's National League Championship Series by winning 3-2 at the Los Angeles Dodgers in the decisive game on Thursday, with Daniel Murphy responsible for the tying and go-ahead runs.
The Mets will play the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.
New York trailed 2-1 when the Dodgers somehow failed to have anyone on third base during a play, and Murphy stole it, and then scored on a sacrifice fly.
Murphy then hit a solo homer in the sixth to put the Mets ahead.
Closing pitcher Jeurys Familia made the first six-out save of his career as he worked the eighth and ninth in quick time.
