Three-run fifth inning carries Mets to win over Angels

Reuters5 days ago
July 23 - Francisco Alvarez hit a game-tying two-run homer in the fifth inning and Brandon Nimmo delivered an RBI single two batters later as the host New York Mets earned another comeback win, edging the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Tuesday.
The Mets have won three straight, all in come-from-behind fashion, and they will shoot for a sweep of the three-game interleague series on Wednesday. The Angels lost for the third time in four games.
Los Angeles' Jorge Soler homered in the second inning off Frankie Montas (3-1). Nolan Schanuel's RBI double down the first base line in the fifth gave the Angels a 2-0 lead before the Mets mounted a two-out rally against Kyle Hendricks (5-7) in the bottom of the frame.
Brett Baty doubled and Alvarez, playing his second game since being promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, followed seven pitches later with a homer to left. It was Alvarez's fourth round-tripper of the season and first at home.
Ronny Mauricio singled on Hendricks' next pitch, stole second and scored on Nimmo's hit.
The rally put Montas in line for the win. The right-hander, who made his fifth start after missing most of the first half due to a lat injury, gave up the two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings.
New York relievers Rico Garcia and Reed Garrett combined for 2 1/3 innings of one-hit ball. Ryne Stanek gave up singles to Logan O'Hoppe and Schanuel in the ninth before closing out his third save -- and his second in the past three games -- by getting Mike Trout to pop out to first baseman Pete Alonso.
Schanuel finished with a career-high four hits. He entered Tuesday with 17 three-hit games.
O'Hoppe went 3-for-4 while Luis Rengifo, batting behind O'Hoppe in the ninth spot, finished 2-for-5.
Hendricks allowed the three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two in 4 2/3 innings. He retired 13 of the first 15 batters he faced before Baty's double.

Commanders inducting Santana Moss into Ring of Fame

July 27 - The Washington Commanders will induct wide receiver Santana Moss into the franchise's Ring of Fame during the Sept. 7 season opener against the New York Giants, the team announced Sunday. Moss played the last 10 seasons (2005-14) of his NFL career with Washington following four seasons with the New York Jets (2001-04). He ranks third in Washington franchise history in career catches (581), fourth in receiving yards (7,867) and seventh in touchdown receptions (47). Moss made his lone Pro Bowl in his first year in the nation's capital, catching 84 passes for a career-high 1,483 yards and nine TDs. His yardage total remains the Washington single-season record. The Commanders surprised Moss, 46, during a live broadcast with the team at training camp in Ashburn, Va. He was surrounded by friends and family members wearing burgundy caps with "MOSS" on the front and his jersey No. 89 on the sides. "Normally, I am so nonchalant," an emotional Moss said. "I don't know how to take in stuff, but man, that one right there ... I don't want to show my tears, but I'm about to shed some. I appreciate that news." Drafted in the first round (16th overall) by the Jets in 2001, Moss retired with 732 receptions for 10,283 yards and 66 scores in 197 games (135 starts). He had 24 100-yard games and four 1,000-yard seasons. --Field Level Media

Commanders' Terry McLaurin arrives at camp, put on PUP list

July 27 - Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin arrived at training camp Sunday without a new deal and was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury. "Terry McLaurin has reported and we're very happy about that," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. "He'll start training camp on PUP for his ankle." McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, was placed on the reserve/did not report list Wednesday. He is seeking an extension as he enters the final season of a three-year, $68.4 million deal. His average annual salary of $22.8 million ranks 17th among receivers. Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase is No. 1, earning an average of $40.2 million, per Spotrac. "On the business side, (Commanders general manager Adam Peters) and his side are still working very hard with Terry and his reps on the business side of things," Quinn said. "While on PUP he'll be working with the trainers." McLaurin was fined $50,000 per day and $200,000 in total after missing the start of training camp. Washington selected McLaurin, a product of Ohio State, in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named a second team All-Pro in 2024. McLaurin is coming off a big year, amassing 82 catches for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns in 17 games. It was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. --Field Level Media
