Overview
- New York, which won 5-1 on Sunday in Anaheim, got two two-run homers from Mark Vientos to secure just its fourth series win and move to 12-22.
- Clay Holmes worked 6.2 innings of one-run ball and lowered his ERA to 1.69, placing him among the National League leaders and steadying an uneven rotation.
- Carson Benge preserved the victory with a full-extension diving catch in the ninth inning on a liner that threatened extra bases.
- Hours after the win, the Mets put Ronny Mauricio on the injured list with a fractured left thumb for six to eight weeks and called up Vidal Bruján as part of a fluid shortstop plan with Bo Bichette.
- The club heads to Colorado with Monday’s start moved to 5:40 p.m. ET because of forecast snow, as the team continues frequent position switches that have included four shortstops and three third basemen this season.
