The New York Mets defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4–3 on May 1 at Angel Stadium in a low-scoring affair that fell well short of Vegas's over-under projection of 1 run. The Mets' pitching staff dominated, striking out 14 Angels batters while allowing just 3 hits and 2 earned runs, posting a 4.10 ERA despite the home team's aggressive approach at the plate. Los Angeles managed only 3 hits and struck out 14 times, though they did scratch out a run on 1 home run and 2 RBI. The Mets' offense, meanwhile, generated 7 hits and 4 RBI to secure the road victory, with their pitchers issuing no walks compared to the Angels' 4 free passes. The disparity in strikeout rates—the Mets' pitchers fanning 14 versus their own 6 whiffs—highlighted New York's superior command and the Angels' continued offensive struggles at a .232 batting average. This victory improves the Mets' early-season positioning while the Angels' inability to capitalize on limited opportunities suggests ongoing lineup depth issues heading into their next rotation matchup.
