FINAL: Mets 3, Angels 2 Ryne Stanek works around two singles and Mike Trout pops up to Pete Alonso to end the game.
Pete Alonso strikes out with the bases loaded to end the seventh inning. Missed opportunity. Lindor is 0 for his last 30. Mets still lead 3-2.
The Mets leave runners on first and second in the sixth as Brett Baty is called out on strikes.
Francisco Lindor flies out to center to end the fifth inning. Now 0 for his last 29. But the Mets are in front, 3-2.
Kyle Hendricks has completely unraveled after allowing one hit -- which should have been an out -- through 4 2/3 innings. Ronny Mauricio hits a two-out single, steals second and scores on Brandon Nimmo's RBI single. Mets lead 3-2.
Welcome back, Francisco Alvarez. His two-run homer ties things at 2. Strong couple of nights for the 23-year-old after spending 19 games with Triple-A Syracuse.
Brett Baty hits a two-out double in the fifth, just the Mets' second hit.
The Angels strand the bases loaded as Jo Adell flies out to deep center.
Nolan Schanuel's second double of the night drives in Luis Rengifo to extend the Angels' lead to 2-0 here in the fifth. Runners on second and third with one out.
Mets still trail 1-0 through three, with Vientos' bloop single the only hit. The Bronx Giraffe was in the lead late during the mascot race inbetween innings, but it was ultimately another painful loss.
