The Mets rallied from a 4-0 deficit, scoring three runs in the seventh inning to equalize, followed by two runs in the eighth for a 7-5 victory over the Angels. Key plays included a dropped throw by catcher Logan O'Hoppe allowing Brett Baty to score the go-ahead run, and Francisco Alvarez’s double which set the stage for the decisive runs. This victory marked only the third occasion in nine games where the Mets scored more than three runs. Alvarez expressed the importance of the win and his contributions after returning from Triple-A.
Overturning a 4-0 deficit, the Mets used a three-run seventh inning to tie things up at five apiece before plating another two in the bottom of the eighth on their way to a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Pinch-hitter Ronny Mauricio's sharp grounder was snared by a spinning Yoah Moncada at third, but his throw home was dropped by catcher Logan O'Hoppe, allowing Brett Baty to cross as the go-ahead run.
Alvarez's double was a deep fly to right that came within inches of clearing the fence, hitting off the wall and beyond the grasp of Los Angeles' Chris Taylor.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza noted the confidence Alvarez displayed, stating, "Watching him the whole game, the takes, a couple of walks, and then for him to drive the ball like that against a righty, that's a really good sign."
