Overview
- New York beat the Angels 4-3 on Friday after Ronny Mauricio’s seventh-inning homer, with five Mets pitchers closing the door to move a majors-worst record to 11-21.
- The Mets reshaped the roster this week, placing Luis Robert Jr. on the injured list with a herniated disc, designating Carl Edwards Jr. for assignment, recalling Eric Wagaman and Austin Warren, and claiming Andy Ibáñez.
- Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski threw 5.1 no-hit innings with eight strikeouts in a 6-1 win over the Nationals on Friday before exiting with a right hamstring cramp that manager Pat Murphy called encouragingly minor.
- Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez went for further elbow imaging after being hit by a pitch, the Cardinals were expected to activate right-hander Hunter Dobbins for a start, and Cubs closer Daniel Palencia was said to have a chance to return for the Diamondbacks series.
- Hours before the Mets’ win, president David Stearns said he does not plan to fire manager Carlos Mendoza, and New York now tries for a rare series victory against an Angels club that has dropped 11 of 12.
