Meet the Mets
The Mets came from behind again yesterday, beating the Angels 3-2. Frankie MOntas had a solid start, going 5.2 innings, giving up eight hits but only two runs while collecting six strikeouts. The trio of relievers who came in after him, Rico Garcia, Reed Garrett, and Ryne Stanek, finished the game without allowing another run, with Stanek recording the save. The Mets offense was led by the youth movement in a big fifth inning. Francisco Alvarez hit a two-run home run after a Brett Baty double. And
after Ronny Mauricio singled and stole second, Brandon Nimmo was able to drive him in as what would become the game winning run.
