Angels Return To Their Losing Ways As Mark Vientos Powers Mets To A 5-1 Win
The Los Angeles Angels have been stuck in a rut lately when it comes to finding ways to lose, and today they dropped a 5-1 decision to the New York Mets as Mark Vientos powered the Mets with a pair of two-run homers to help New York take the rubber game of their three-game set.
The Angels scored first in this one on a pair of walks to Zach Neto and Mike Trout, and Jorge Soler picked up Neto with an RBI single. It looked like the Angels would be able to send starter Clay Holmes packing early after the 27-pitch inning, but the Angels bats went quiet after that initial run and they ended up with just five more singles for the day.
The Halos also wasted another fine start from Jack Kochanowicz, who struggled with his breaking stuff but was able to keep the Mets at bay despite plenty of traffic. The Mets finally broke through on the first of Vientosâ two homers to make it 2-1, but Kochanowicz kept it close into the seventh as he gave up just two runs in 6-1/3 innings.
After that the Angels bullpen got in on the action, and thatâs bad news these days. Tayler Saucedo was able to pick up Kochanowicz when the starter ran out of gas in the seventh, but Saucedo was lifted in the eighth after hitting Brett Baty with a pitch, and Saucedo was charged with a run when came in and poured gas on the fire by giving a run-scoring double to Carson Benge, then another two-run bomb by Vientos.
