Tough Battle at Citi Field
Today was a nail-biting face-off at Citi Field as our beloved Los Angeles Angels took on the New York Mets.
Although the final outcome wasn't in our favor, let's break down the exciting highlights and the near-misses that kept us on the edge of our seats. 
Strong Start and Early Lead
The game began with some early action in the second inning when Jorge Soler sent one out of the park with a stunning 378-foot homer to left field!
That blast gave the Angels a 1-0 lead. Shortly afterward, Luis Rengifo delivered a beautiful single followed by Nolan Schanuel stepping up in the fifth with a double, driving Rengifo home to extend our lead to 2-0. 
Mets' Mid-Game Rally
Despite our promising start, the Mets rallied in the bottom of the fifth inning. Francisco Alvarez matched Soler’s earlier homer with his own two-run blast, bringing the game to a tie at 2-2. The Mets then edged ahead when Brandon Nimmo singled to center, scoring Ronny Mauricio. This unfortunate turn flipped the score to 3-2 in favor of the Mets.
Angels Fight Back
Our guys showed grit with Logan O'Hoppe consistently getting on base, leading to chances for us to regain the lead. Kudos to Nolan Schanuel who was relentless at the plate, notching critical hits and keeping the pressure on the Mets.
Mike Trout tried to bring some magic but, unfortunately, our efforts fell short as the ninth inning closed with a 3-2 Mets victory. 
Despite the outcome, let's keep our Angels' spirits high! There were flashes of brilliance, and we’ll get them next time! Until the next game, fellow fans!
