The Mets needed some relief after four straight losses, and they got it from two unexpected sources.
Putting together his finest start of the season, David Peterson kept the Mets afloat for much of the game, while Rafael Ortega’s second-ever walk-off hit gave the Mets a 3-2 victory over the Angels Sunday afternoon in Queens. Though saddled with the no decision, Peterson put together a start that rivaled Kodai Senga’s from the beginning of the series, giving the Mets a slight edge through much of the afternoon’s pitching duel.
The Mets scored their first run in the bottom of the fourth on three singles from Jeff McNeil, Daniel Vogelbach, and Francisco Alvarez, with McNeil scoring from second with two outs on Alvarez’s soft hit through the middle of the infield.
