ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) for the third time in five games and Paul Blackburn allowed only one run in his Mets debut as New York beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 on Friday night. Brandon Nimmo went 3 for 5 as everyone in the Mets' lineup had at least one hit. New York has won three of four. Blackburn (5-2), acquired by the Mets from Oakland on Monday, defeated the Angels for the second time in eight days. The right-hander went six innings and allowed one run on six hits and struck out six. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was pleased with Blackburn's outing, especially with the way he was able to mix all his pitches. Honestly, I came in today, saw him and told him to be himself and I would talk to him after the game, Mendoza said. Blackburn reported to the Mets on Thursday, but didn't begin to meet most of his new teammates until before Friday's game. Blackburn said the pregame meeting and working with catcher with Francisco Alvarez went better than expected. The preparation Jeff Green Jersey on his end, constant communication between innings was fun to watch. For the first time out, couldn't have gone better with us, Blackburn said. "It's been crazy but I'm here to do the job. ... We got the win, thats all Im here for really. Thats all I care about Nolan Schanuel had two hits and extended his hitting streak to seven games for the Angels, who have dropped six of eight during their homestand. Jo Adell had an RBI single in the second. I think we took him for granted," Angels manager Ron Washington said about facing Blackburn. Tried to do too much with him and took too many big swings instead of trying to keep the line moving. When you have a young offense, thats what happens. With one out in the third inning and Nimmo on first base, Alonso drove a first-pitch cutter from Tyler Anderson (8-10) into the left field stands to give the Mets a 3-1 lead. Alonso is tied for fifth in the National League with 23 homers. I felt pretty good at the dish for a long time now. Im just happy that the balls and line drives are starting to carry over the fence," Alonso said. Anderson gave up three runs on eight hits in five innings. The Mets opened the scoring in the second, when Francisco Alvarez's base hit to left-center drove in Jose Iglesias, who led off the inning with a double. The Angels evened it in the home half when three straight batters reached base. Adell lined a ball that went off Mets third baseman Mark Vientos and into left field as Mickey Moniak scored from second base. The Mets added a pair in the sixth. J.D. Martinez had an RBI base hit and Francisco Lindor scored when Angels shortstop Zach Neto mishandled Vientos' grounder for an error.
