We all know that Daniel Murphy can hit. But any Mets fan will tell you that in the field, he leaves a lot to be desired at second. But not tonight.

The Legend of Murphy grew even more at the end of Game One, when Murphy made a heroic diving play to end the game. Murphy, who homered to start off the game, threw out Tommy La Stella, who represented the tying run. Jeurys Familia got the save, and the Mets have taken the first game of the NLCS.


Game Two is scheduled for tomorrow at 8 p.m. EST.
