With a 1-0 lead in the series, Metropolis sent Stephen Strasburg to face Glen Allen's Wily Peralta. It wasn't technically a must-win for the Mets, but they certainly didn't want to fall into a 2-0 hole in the best-of-seven series.
Glen Allen's Coco Crisp started the action quickly, slapping a lead-off single and stealing second. He moved to third on an Adrian Gonzalez groundout but Strasburg looked to retire cleanup hitter Hunter Pence to end the threat. Instead, a slider got away from catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia just far enough for Crisp to sprint home with the game's first run and a 1-0 Mets lead.
The game stayed 1-0 into the fourth, when the Mets rallied for two more runs on an Alexi Ramirez single following hits by Gonzalez and Jason Castro. Strasburg was 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA in the regular season, but the Mets appeared to have him rattled. The Avengers did get one run back on a Chris Davis homer in the bottom of the fourth, but still found themselves behind 3-1.
The Mets pitchers never let Metropolis even think of rallying, as Peralta and relievers Tyler Lyons and Glen Perkins set down 16 Avenger hitters in a row following the Davis homer. That streak didn't end until Andrew McCutchen singled with two outs in the ninth. Glen Allen called on Tommy Hunter who struck out pinch hitter Ramiro Pena to knot the series at one game each.
