First Inning

The game began with both teams showing restraint, as neither managed to score in the first inning. The Mets and Angels each had one hit but failed to capitalize on their opportunities.

Third Inning

The third inning proved pivotal for the Amazins as they erupted with four runs on two hits. This offensive surge was highlighted by Pete Alonso's impressive performance, contributing significantly to his team's lead. The Angels managed one run in response during this inning but could not match the Mets' momentum.

Fourth Inning

In another display of offensive prowess, New York added one more run in the fourth inning while maintaining their defensive strength against Los Angeles. Francisco Lindor played a crucial role during this period, showcasing his consistent hitting ability.

Seventh Inning

Despite being down by five runs entering this segment of play, Los Angeles attempted a comeback with two runs scored off three hits. However, it wasn't enough as they struggled against New York's bullpen throughout most innings following that brief rally attempt.

Overall pitching efforts from both sides were notable: Sean Manaea delivered an effective start for New York (5 innings pitched), allowing only one earned run alongside five strikeouts; meanwhile Edwin Díaz closed out strong without conceding any additional points late into gameplay action - further solidifying victory prospects early-onward via strategic execution across various phases involved therein!
