Mets outfielders Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto homered off Dodgers ace Zack Greinke in the second inning of Game 2 of the NLDS.

The solo shots gave New York a 2–0 lead, with Cespedes breaking the scoreless tie with an opposite-field shot, and the rookie Conforto going deep down the rightfield line two outs later in his first career playoff at-bat.

Conforto, 22, is reportedly the youngest player ever to homer at Dodger Stadium in a postseason game.

The last time Greinke gave up two home runs in an inning was April 6, 2014.
