One Small Step For The Mets; One Giant Leap For Murphy Kind:

Daniel Murphy homered in the final two games of the NLDS against the Dodgers, then homered in each of the four games against the Cubs.  His six home runs in six consecutive games set an all-time MLB postseason record, while his seven home runs overall set a Mets postseason record.  He will bring a 9-game playoff hitting streak into the World Series.  He went 4/5 in Game 4 with 2 RBI.   Murph now has 11 RBI for the posteseason.

He Who Strikes Last, Strike Best:

In eight previous games against the Dodgers and Cubs, the Dude of Flushing went a mere 3/24 with no extra base hits and a lone RBI.  In Game 4's clincher, Duda was 3/4 with five RBI.
