The New York Mets are looking to hit the reset button as they kick off May with a fresh series against the Los Angeles Angels tonight at Angel Stadium. After a brutal April that saw them stumble to a 7-19 record—their worst start since 1981—the Mets are eager to turn things around on their nine-game West Coast road trip.

Friday's game marks the beginning of a challenging stretch that will also take them through Colorado and Arizona. First pitch is set for 9:38 p.m. ET, and the Mets are hoping to shake off the sting of Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals, where a late two-run homer by CJ Abrams sealed their fate. Despite a valiant comeback fueled by a three-run blast from MJ Melendez and an RBI double from Mark Vientos, the Mets couldn't hold the lead.

The team wrapped up a nine-game homestand with a disappointing 3-6 record, including a sweep by the Rockies, but there's cautious optimism as young right-hander Christian Scott takes the mound for his second start of the season. Scott struggled in his debut, lasting just 1⅓ innings with five walks and a hit batter against the Twins, but the Mets are banking on him finding his rhythm.

On the other side, the Angels will counter with 22-year-old rookie Walbert Urena, who has had a rocky start to his big-league career. In four appearances (two starts), Urena is 0-3 with a 4.76 ERA, allowing six earned runs over 11⅓ innings while striking out 13. It's a matchup that could favor the Mets' bats if they can capitalize early.

For Mets fans, this series is more than just a game—it's a chance to rewrite the narrative. Whether you're cheering from the stands or gearing up at home, make sure you're repping the orange and blue with the latest Mets gear. Here's hoping May brings a new chapter for Queens.
