That was the end of Diaz’s night and he excited the game in favor of Archie Bradley, who walked Francisco Lindor to once again load the bases, but was able to avoid further damage by getting Pete Alonso to pop out to second to end the inning. Brandon Nimmo then walked to load the bases and Mark Canha crushed a key RBI double to give the Mets a 3-0 lead. The official scoring on the play could have gone either way and the official scorer opted to give Nido a hit. With two men on and two out after singles from Eduardo Escobar and Jeff McNeil, Tomás Nido hit a laser to the normally slick fielding Andrew Velazquez at short and the ball took a hop that ate up Velazquez, going past him and allowing Escobar to score the game’s first run. But, the Mets cashed in on their next threat against Diaz in the following frame, continuing to get things done with two outs. The Mets threatened right away against Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz in the first inning, but unfortunately Pete Alonso’s first at-bat back after being hit in the hand with a pitch resulted in an inning-ending double play. The Mets offense unloaded for 13 hits and Brandon Nimmo in particular had a big night at the plate with a home run and three RBIs. Tylor Megill was solid in his return to the mound and David Peterson followed with strong work in long relief.
