LOS ANGELES — When Francisco Lindor hits a home run, the Mets usually win.

Monday night at Dodger Stadium, he took right-hander Dustin May deep to right field to lead off the first game of a four-game series against the defending World Series champs.

But the Dodgers usually win when Shohei Ohtani does, well, what Shohei Ohtani does.

Ohtani cut the Mets’ lead in half in the bottom of the seventh with a 424-foot moonshot off Max Kranick. Then, he tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a sacrifice fly to send the game into extra innings, only 10 days after the teams played 13 of them. This time, it was the Mets who outlasted the Dodgers in a 4-3 win, their 27th victory that featured a homer by Lindor.

“When he goes, pretty much everyone goes,” said manager Carlos Mendoza.
