The Mets faced a tough setback on Saturday, losing 4-3 to the Angels after Nolan McLean pitched just four innings. Additionally, Ronny Mauricio fractured his thumb, leading to his placement on the injured list. A missed opportunity arose when the Mets failed to challenge a questionable Angels run in the first inning. On a positive note, the team extended catcher Luis Torrens’ contract for two years, while Jonah Tong excelled with six one-hit innings for Triple-A Syracuse.
