Overview

  • The Mets erased a 4-0 deficit by scoring five runs in the seventh and eighth innings to secure a 7-5 win.
  • Juan Soto’s two-run single in the seventh tied the game and Francisco Alvarez drove in the go-ahead run with a double in his first game back from Triple-A.
  • An eighth-inning miscue by Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe allowed the go-ahead run to score on a wide throw home.
  • New York’s relievers combined for four scoreless innings, highlighted by Edwin Díaz striking out the side for his 20th save.
  • The Angels fell to 49-50 and four games behind the AL wild-card cutoff as they weigh trade-deadline moves amid injury and bullpen concerns.
