The Mets secured the season series, but split the four-game series with a 6-5 loss Thursday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

So close to a sweep — or at minimum a series victory — but instead frustration reigned for the Mets on Thursday.

Landan Knack started for the Dodgers and did not have a good day at the office. Following a 1-2-3 first inning, Pete Alonso—fresh off hitting two homers last night—led off the top of the second with an opposite field shot to give the Mets a 1-0 lead.
