Mets relievers Rico Garcia, Reed Garrett and Ryne Stanek recorded the final 10 outs to preserve the one-run lead. Filling in for closer Edwin Diaz, who pitched the previous two days, Stanek got Trout to pop out with runners on first and second to end the ninth.

NEW YORK (AP) — Just back from the minors, Francisco Alvarez played a major role in the New York Mets’ comeback win. After tearing up Triple-A pitching for a few weeks, the 23-year-old catcher returned to New York’s starting lineup Monday night and provided a huge lift in a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

The Mets are recalling their young catcher, a source said Sunday, after he laid waste to minor league pitching for nearly a month. Alvarez, who was optioned amid offensive and defensive struggles on June 22, reported to Syracuse and made adjustments on both sides of the ball that he hopes will translate to the majors.
