The Mets were looking to redeem themselves after getting trounced on their home turf the night before with a lopsided 9-1 loss and a ton of drama.  Noah Syndergaard was ejected for throwing behind Chase Utley and Utley had the last laugh with a home run and grand slam.  On Sunday Night Baseball, the Dodgers scored two runs in the ninth for a 4-2 win.

Clayton Kershaw took the ball for the Dodgers and went up against "Big Sexy" Bartolo Colon.  LA jumped out to a 2-0 lead.  They scored in the third on a fielder's choice and again in the fifth with an RBI single by Adrian Gonzalez.

In the sixth, the Mets cut the deficit in half with a home run by Asdrubal Cabrera into the party deck in left field.  In the eighth, with Kevin Plawecki on, Curtis Granderson tripled to bring him home. With the game tied at 2, the Mets turned to closer Juerys Familia, who blew a save on Friday night. He loaded the bases and Gonzalez came through with a single to bring home two runs for the eventual 4-2 win.

The Mets turn to Matt Harvey as they welcome the Chicago White Sox to town on Memorial Day. Harvey looks to bounce back from his poor previous two starts.
