Tylor Megill made his return from the injured list and pitched 3.1 innings in the series opener against the Angels. The bullpen held the fort the rest of the way, and the Mets offense—led by three RBIs from both Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha—did their job to secure a 7-3 win to break their two-game losing streak.
Pete Alonso was back in the Mets’ lineup just a few days after getting hit by a pitch in the hand.
Alonso’s return is obviously important, as his production over the past few years ranks high amongst both other players and all-time Mets.
