This Date in Mets History
In the wee hours of the morning on November 2—about 30 minutes after midnight to be exact—the Mets surrendered five runs to the Royals in the 12th inning of Game 5 of the 2015 World Series. The result was a 7-2 defeat, as the Mets dropped the series in five games. They have yet to return to the Fall Classic and have only appeared in one postseason game since that loss.
