Peraza’s 10th-Inning RBI Lifts Angels to 4-3 Win Over Mets

The article covers a wild 10th-inning comeback as Oswald Peraza came through with a two-out, two-strike RBI single, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 win over the New York Mets. The win snapped the Angels’ nasty seven-game losing streak.

There’s some love for the bullpen, a few big moments from Reid Detmers and Nolan McLean, and a weird first Angels run that had everyone arguing about replay. Looking ahead, the series finale features a Sunday matchup between Clay Holmes and Jack Kochanowicz.

Peraza’s 10th-inning heroics lift Angels over Mets

One swing with two outs, and suddenly the Angels had something to celebrate after a brutal week. The Mets tied things up in the seventh with some clutch hitting, but Los Angeles answered in the 10th.

Jorge Soler worked a leadoff walk, Jo Adell singled, and then Peraza ripped a single to left-center. That brought home the winning run. The bullpen handled the rest and finally snapped the club’s longest losing streak of the season.

For Angels fans, that moment felt even better because of who delivered it. Peraza’s hit capped a gutsy rally. The bullpen shined, and Reid Detmers had a strong start.

Soler’s walk started the 10th, Adell’s single set the stage, and then Peraza came through with a two-out, two-strike RBI. The Angels walked off with a 4-3 win.

Momentum shifts and bullpen resilience

The Angels bullpen stepped up, tossing three and two-thirds scoreless innings after Detmers went six. Sam Bachman took over late, struck out three in 1 2/3 innings, and set things up for the win.

Ryan Zeferjahn got the win (2-1), pitching the ninth and 10th without allowing a run. The Mets couldn’t cash in during their last at-bats.

Detmers limited New York to one run on four hits through six innings. Things got dicey in the seventh when Mark Vientos doubled and Marcus Semien singled, letting the Mets claw back.

Andy Ibáñez hit a sacrifice fly, and Tyrone Taylor’s RBI single tied it at 3-3. That forced extras. The Angels’ bullpen locked it down in the 10th and finally got the win after seven straight losses.

Key offensive sequences and a replay controversy

The Angels grabbed their first run in the opening frame with a two-out rally. Nolan Schanuel, Soler, and Adell strung together singles, and Schanuel scored on a close play at the plate.

Replay checked if Soler was tagged before Schanuel crossed home, but the call stood. That early run mattered in such a tight game.

Mets starter Nolan McLean nearly escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. Vaughn Grissom’s two-run single put New York up 3-1.

That lead didn’t last. The Angels’ late push forced extras and set up Peraza’s heroics. The Mets got a little hope in the 10th when Brett Baty reached on catcher’s interference, but Zeferjahn got a double play and a popout to end the threat. Peraza took care of the rest.

What to watch in Sunday’s finale

Sunday’s finale brings a marquee matchup that could shape the whole series. Mets RHP Clay Holmes (3-2, 1.75 ERA) faces off against Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz (2-0, 3.09 ERA).

New York gets a shot to rebound behind its ace. Los Angeles, meanwhile, will try to ride the momentum from a win that felt like it mattered a bit extra at this point in the season.

• Top storyline: Peraza’s walk-off RBI single in the 10th capped a dramatic comeback and snapped the Angels’ seven-game losing streak.
• Pitching notes: Detmers tossed six solid innings. Bachman and Zeferjahn teamed up for 2 2/3 scoreless frames in relief.
• Key plays: The close play at the plate for the first run and the late tying rally in the seventh both changed the game’s direction. Late-inning decisions really made the difference.
• Preview: Holmes vs. Kochanowicz on Sunday could decide the series and maybe even set the mood for Interleague play coming up.

Fans have their eyes on whether Los Angeles can keep that late-inning magic going. Or will New York regroup and hand the Angels another tough loss?
