Mets Sweep Angels in Three-Game Series

The New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 6-3 win, featuring Pete Alonso's three-run homer and Francisco Lindor's breakout performance with key RBI singles. Brandon Nimmo added a leadoff home run, while Sean Manaea pitched five strong innings to help the Mets extend their winning streak to four games after a difficult stretch. Mike Trout hit his 396th career home run for the Angels and moved closer to 1,000 RBIs, but their bullpen faltered as Jake Eder gave up five runs over six innings. The Angels' late rally attempts were stymied by contentious strike calls that led to the ejections of interim manager Ray Montgomery and hitting coach Tim Laker. The defeat marked the Angels' seventh sweep of the season and pushed them further from playoff contention ahead of the trade deadline. Jorge Soler left the game due to back tightness, further depleting the Angels' lineup.
