The Mets kicked off a rare series in Anaheim with a 7-3 victory over the scuffling Angels. Tylor Megill was solid in his return to the mound and David Peterson followed with strong work in long relief. The Mets offense unloaded for 13 hits and Brandon Nimmo in particular had a big night at the plate with a home run and three RBIs.
The Mets threatened right away against Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz in the first inning, but unfortunately Pete Alonso’s first at-bat back after being hit in the hand with a pitch resulted in an inning-ending double play.
