Hard-throwing Dodgers right-hander Michael Kopech will serve as the “opener” for a bullpen game against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea tonight at Dodger Stadium.

Tommy Edman and Will Smith homered to send Shohei Ohtani into the World Series for the first time, and the Los Angeles Dodgers eliminated the New York Mets with a 10-5 victory in Game 6 of the NL Cham

The loss ends the best-of-seven duel as well as the Mets' improbable, joyful, bewildering season in a manner as abrupt as so many of their comebacks.
