Alonso, Lindor Break Slumps Powering Mets Sweep Angels

The New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, fueled by key performances from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, who both broke out of prolonged slumps. Lindor snapped a career-worst 0-for-31 hitting drought with an RBI single in the third inning and added another RBI single in the fourth, driving in two runs total. Alonso followed with a 439-foot, three-run homer to left field, his 22nd of the season and 248th career home run, ending his 2-for-34 skid. The Mets' manager highlighted the importance of these two players as the team prepares for a challenging upcoming road trip against playoff contenders. Sean Manaea also contributed significantly on the mound, pitching five innings and allowing only one earned run on a Mike Trout solo home run while striking out five. This combined effort helped the Mets rally to a 6-3 victory, marking their fourth consecutive win after a slow start post-All-Star break.
