andy: he mentions daniel murphy. he has tied an all-time major league baseball record with a home run in five consecutive postseason games. the mets bats about done a lot of cubs bats. just five runs in three games to this point. more importantly, the mets pitching has been fantastic. jacob doubront went out and through seven strong innings. really limiting the damage. the cubs fall into a 0-3 series whole. if they win tomorrow, the cubs play game five. lose tomorrow, and the series ends with a 4-0 mets sweep. wait until next year is always the mantra of this program. i think the fans would rather not wait until next year and if they need a little possible momentum, theo epstein is the manager of operations. when he was the general manager of the boston red sox, they fell in a 0-3 whole in the championship series and won 4 straight to be the yankees. so the bar is set for the cubs. they just have to start with one. 7:00 first pitch tomorrow night. jason hammel will pitch for the cops. -- for the cubs. cubs fans filin

mets in a 3-0 hole and hitless against kershaw until daniel murphy takes it deep in the 4th inning. that made it 3-1. dodgers playing tough. look at turn er. 3rd base. bottom of the 8th, two on. doesn't quite get all of that one. all adds up to a loss for the mets, 3-1. series tied 2-2. the deciding game 5 thursday night in los angeles. they split two here. it will go the distance in l.a. eyewitness news reporter aj ross live for us at citifield. >> certainly not the outcome we wanted. fans certainly disappointed. they still have faith in this team. they believe this team is something special. the sellout crowd tonight stayed glued to their seats till the final out, not giving up hope. nagging kershaw every turn. the entire stadium erupted when daniel murphy homered to right in what fans hope would be a much needed turning point but they couldn't dig themselves out of the hole. >> it happens. some days you're good, some days not so good. >> you still optimistic? >> i'm still optimistic. let's hope we go get them and bring home another series. >> we win some, we lose some. hopefully

let's show you why these wins are borne from more than daniel murphy home runs. yoenis cespedes steals third and continues aggressive base running this post-season. it paid off. when this strikeout to end the inning didn't end the inning, it ended up being the game winning run and all due to heads up base running. >> we can't solely rely on hitting home runs to score runs. now, once you get ahead of a team, you know, i think you have to continue to put your foot on the gas and do those small things. when the post-season started we had to be a better base running team because that could be the difference between winning a post-season game and losing a post-season game. the middle of all of it last night and joins us now from wrigley field. otis. >> reporter: steve, with this young mets pitching staff, it's like they are trying to one up each other clearly jacob degrom the leader of the staff. but it's like harvey and syndergaard are following up his performance with impressive performances of their own. steven matz has a chance to pitch the mets into the world ser

i would say daniel murphy. one-zero. they have the lead. zero-two pitch. sending out gordon. he gets so easily. tied at one a piece. second and third. game-winning run the morning before. three-one. delivering a single of his own. there you have it. a four-run inning. giving up more than three runs since september 3. zero-to hold in this seven series. >> not the only one. we stressed is enough. when we play good, our lineup produces throughout. it shows right now how big dan murphy really was. we have to pick it up offensively. we have to do a better job to use the field to hit. it again. >> reporter: the vets will return and they will play friday. the workout today will probably be a light workout. then nj, back to you. ben: get yourself back on. juliet: hopefully you get some rest. ben: mets fans are far from giving up. juliet: let's get to liz. >> reporter: good morning. do not worry. we play one game at a time. for people to keep in mind. the team just came home about one hour and a half ago. they took that three hours 50 minute flight right after the game and got home ar
