ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ronny Mauricio hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning and the New York Mets rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in the opener of a nine-game road trip.
The win — just the Mets’ fourth in their last 21 games — came a few hours after president of baseball operations David Stearns gave manager Carlos Mendoza a vote of confidence . New York has the majors’ worst record at 11-21.
