The New York Mets will don their black jerseys and white pants on Wednesday night as they host the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. Luis Severino will be the starting pitcher, and he made the decision on the team’s attire.
His explanation was devoid of superstition and complex reasoning.
“I like black,” Severino said.

This will be the first NLCS game at Citi Field since 2015. The series is currently tied 1-1 as the Dodgers won Game 1 with their third consecutive shutout on Sunday in Los Angeles, but the Mets bounced back with a 7-3 victory on Monday.
According to MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, Wednesday night marks just the second time the Mets will don black uniforms in the postseason since Game 4 of the 2000 World Series. The last occasion was Game 1 of the 2022 Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres, which ended in a 7-1 blowout loss for the Mets.
Game 3 is set for 8 p.m. ET.
