The New York Mets wouldn't be two wins away from the World Series without the late-inning heroics of closer Jeurys Familia.

Familia retired three of the four batters he faced in Game 2 of the NLCS on Sunday to pick up his fourth save of the playoffs, and pass Armando Benitez, Tug McGraw, and Billy Wagner on the Mets' all-time postseason saves list.

The righty has allowed only two hits over 7 2/3 shutout innings while walking just a single batter. However, he credits veteran hurler Bartolo Colon for his breakout campaign.

"He's one of the guys that helps me not just in baseball, but as a person, too," Familia said prior to Game 2. "Whatever question I have about baseball or life, I ask Bartolo. For me he's like another brother."
