Mets vs. Dodgers result: Live updates from NLCS Game 3 with series lead on the line at Citi Field

The 2024 Major League Baseball postseason continues Wednesday night with Game 3 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets at Citi Field. The two teams split the first two games in LA, meaning the best-of-seven series ends in a 1-1 draw.

The winner of the NLCS advances to the World Series to face the New York Yankees or Cleveland Guardians (the Yankees are 2-0 in the ALCS and the teams play on Wednesday).

Will Dodgers starter Walker Buehler finally return to form after struggling throughout the 2024 season? And how will Mets starter Luis Severino respond to the extra rest (he hasn’t pitched since NLDS Game 2 against the Phillies on Oct. 6)? These critical questions for Game 3 were examined here.

The Dodgers got on the field first after some ugly defensive plays by the Mets and took a 2-0 lead in the second period.
