ANAHEIM, Calif.—Griffin Canning pitched five stingy innings for his first win in six weeks, and the Los Angeles Angels held off the New York Mets 3–2 on Sunday, August 4.

Matt Thaiss and Kevin Pillar each had a sacrifice fly for the Angels, who knocked the Mets out of playoff position in the National League by winning the final two in a three-game series.
