New York Mets at Los Angeles Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Ronny Mauricio hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning and the New York Mets rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in the opener of a nine-game road trip. The win just the Mets' fourth in their last 21 games came a few hours after president of baseball operations David Stearns gave manager Carlos Mendoza a vote of confidence. New York has the majors' worst record at 11-21. Marcus Semien hit a tying two-run single in the Mets' three-run sixth inning, which also included an RBI single by Francisco Alvarez. New York retired the final 21 Angels hitters.
