Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto staked the New York Mets to an early 2-0 lead with the second inning solo homers hit off Dodgers starter Zack Greinke in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.
Conforto drilled a homer in his first career postseason plate appearance. The rookie outfielder turned on a 2-1 fastball and then reacted when it banged off the right-field foul pole.
Cespedes opened the inning with a line-drive opposite-field home run that snuck over the right-field wall
Cespedes hit .287/.337/.604 with 17 home runs and 44 RBI in 249 plate appearances in the final two months of the season following a trade with the Tigers. Conforto, since debuting shortly after the All-Star break, compiled a .270/.335/.506 triple-slash line with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 194 PA.
