To say that Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is "on fire", would be a severe understatement.

On a 1-1 pitch in the bottom of the first, Murphy planted one in right field. Ready for the crazy stats?

After most recently hitting the game-winning home run in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Dodgers, Murphy has now his four home runs in six games, which is something that he had never previously done during the regular season.

Furthermore, take a look at the pitchers that Murphy has made his victim: Clayton Kershaw (twice), Zak Greinke and now the latest in Jon Lester. Here's the crazy statistic again: During the regular season, Murphy only had one home run in 126 at bats against left-handed pitchers.

Here in the post-season, Daniel Murphy is rising to the occasion and continues to impress those around him, including his teammates and fans.
