There was a lot going for the offense in the New York Mets' 12-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLCS on Friday night.

Starling Marte went 4-for-5 with three extra-base hits and three RBIs, and Pete Alonso set the tone with a three-run blast in the first inning. It didn't take long for Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty to look at the scoreboard with his team trailing 8-1 in the third inning.

The Mets made things difficult for the Dodgers pitchers all night long as they didn't strike out once throughout the game. According to MLB's Sarah Langs, the Mets are the first team in MLB history not to be eliminated in a playoff game since the Anaheim Angels' 11-10 victory over the San Francisco Giants in Game 2 of the 2002 World Series.

A pretty impressive feat for the Mets, who still lead MLB in strikeouts this postseason with 107.

There's still work to be done for New York, which trails Los Angeles 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

“We don’t want to go home,” Mets infielder Jeff McNeil said after the game. “We want to go back to Citi Field and win a World Series.”

Game 6 of the NLCS is scheduled for Sunday night at 8:08 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium.
