The teams now fly to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers can wrap up the best-of-seven series Tuesday when former Met Tim Leary opposes David Cone, the losing pitcher in Game 2.
During the regular season, the Mets won 10 of 11 games from the Dodgers and won 56 games at home, including their last 11 at Shea Stadium. But the Dodgers came into New York and won two of three and take a 3-2 lead.
The Dodgers won Game 4 in 12 innings on Gibson's homer shortly before 1 a.m. EDT. A little less than 12 hours later, the two teams were back on the field for the fifth game with the series tied at two games apiece.
With two outs in the ninth, Gibson beat out an infield hit, then appeared to reinjure his left hamstring stealing second and left the game. Jose Gonzalez ran for Gibson and scored the Dodgers' seventh run when Mike Marshall tripled to right-center.
Despite a bases-loaded threat by the Mets in the ninth inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated New York, 6-3, to even the National League playoff series at one game apiece.
