Daniel Murphy Ties Record With Homer In Fifth Straight Playoff Game (Video)

Daniel Murphy can’t be stopped.

The New York Mets second baseman tied an MLB postseason record with a home run in his fifth straight game Tuesday during New York’s 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. Here’s video evidence:

That homer ties him with Carlos Beltran, who went yard in five straight postseason games with the Houston Astros in 2004.

Murphy’s historic October has the Mets, who now lead the NLCS three games to none over the Cubs, one win away from reaching the World Series. First pitch for Game 4 is scheduled for Wednesday at 8:07 p.m. ET.
