The Mets defeated the Angels by a score of 3-2 to win their third straight and to take the series over Anaheim. This game was a tale of Angels and Demons with the bottom of the lineup succeeding and the top of the lineup failing in crucial situations.
With Francisco Alvarez’s return to the lineup in the series opener, the Baby Mets were reunited and it was the Baby Mets who got the job done. With the team down 2-0 entering the bottom of the fifth, Brett Baty doubled with two out. Alvarez showed off his power in the minors when he got sent down, and in his first game back he just missed a home run, but settled for a double when it was misplayed by Chris Taylor.
