Mets Claw Back, Win in Dramatic Fashion

0:00It's May 2nd. This is New York Met's News Today, AI-powered stories from inside your team. The New York Met started May on a high note, beating the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 in a gritty comeback win Friday 9. They fell behind early with a two-run homer and an error, but clawed their way back to snag the victory against the American League's weakest squad. Shout-out to shortstop Ronnie Mauricio, who crushed a 421-foot solo homer for the go-ahead run in the 7th. Another Christian Scott bounced back big time, too, tossing five solid innings with just two runs, no walks, and eight strikeouts. Catcher Francisco Alvarez redeemed his early mistake by driving in the Met's first run, and second-basement Marcus Cymian tied it with a two-run, single. The bullpin, which has struggled all season, locked it down with four perfect innings and six k's, including closer Devon Williams grabbing his third. Save. Now the series rolls on Saturday with Rookie Ridey Nolan McLean taking the mound against Angel's lefty-read debtmers.

1:02McLean's been lights out so far, sporting a 2.55 ERA over six starts with 45 strikeouts. First pitch is at 9.30 a.m. Eastern on ESPN Unlimited and MLB.tv. Met's are hungry to build momentum. Keep an eye on this matchup.
