Jose Reyes, who hit behind Conforto in the No. 2 spot, also helped set the table for the Mets' offense and finished 3-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs, notching his 2,000th career hit with a single in the first inning. It was also a milestone night for Terry Collins, who managed his 1,013th Mets game to surpass Davey Johnson as the longest-tenured skipper in franchise history.
Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler held the Angels scoreless through the first five innings, but he unraveled in the sixth and could not escape a bases-loaded jam, cracking the door open for the Angels and prematurely ending his night.
