Mets Snap Skid, Mauricio Homers in Win

0:00On May 2nd, the Mets finally broke through with a 4-3 win over the Angels, snapping a 6-game road losing streak. Ronnie Mauricio, the new starting shortstop, crushed a tie-breaking homer in the 7th inning for his first of the season, powering them past A, 3-run deficit. Mauricio stepped in last week after Francisco Lindor hit the injured list with a calf strain that might keep him out for months. Despite early struggles, including a lot of strikeouts and a slash line around 192, his raw power showed a big time on that 1-1. Fastball. Christian Sky delivered a solid start, going 5 innings with 3 runs, 1 unearned, 8 strikeouts, and better command in his debut. The Mets chipped away in the 6th, tying it on a 2-run single from Marcus Simeon after the Angels starter left with an injury. The bullpen locked it down from there, retiring 21 Angels in a row. Brooks Rayleigh, Luke Weaver and Devon Williams handled the late innings cleanly, while team brass confirmed they'll stick with manager Carlos Mendoza through the rough patches.
