The vibes surrounding the Angels have been utterly dreadful in recent weeks, but facing the 2023 New York Mets will solve a lot of ills. Following the series opening loss last night, the Mets once again fell to Los Angeles 5-3 tonight, making it four straight losses for the Amazins.
Carlos Carrasco took the mound for the Mets tonight. The 2023 version of Cookie facing off against Shohei Ohtani felt like as big a mismatch as one could possibly imagine. And, well, that quickly proved to be the case, as he quickly got things started for the Angels with a hard-hit double in the first, and he then came around to score on a Brandon Drury single.
