Overview
- The Mets beat the Angels 5-1 to close out a road series win, helped late by Carson Benge’s diving catch in the ninth.
- Mark Vientos powered the lineup with two two-run home runs that accounted for most of the scoring.
- Clay Holmes allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings, struck out six, and lowered his ERA to 1.69.
- Ronny Mauricio went on the injured list with a fractured left thumb and a six to eight week timeline, so shortstop will rotate between Bo Bichette and Vidal Bruján.
- The Rockies moved up Monday’s first pitch because of weather, with Tomoyuki Sugano set for Colorado and the Mets likely to use an opener.
