Daniel Murphy tags home run for fifth straight game

Saying New York Mets slugger Daniel Murphy is experiencing a resurgence in his career is proving to be a bit of an understatement.

The 30-year-old mashed a home run Tuesday to put the Mets on top of the Cubs 2-1. It was Murphy’s fifth straight game that he hit a ball over the outfield wall.

Here’s what his other home runs have looked like in the postseason.

There were many great stories in baseball this year, and while the Cubs breathed new life into their fan base this season, Mets fans were just as impressed by their team’s effective postseason push.

Murphy may singlehandedly become the x-factor in a series between two evenly matched teams.
