Paul Blackburn’s acquisition from Oakland likely brought a collective “Who?” from a large segment of the Mets’ fan base earlier this week, but Friday it was time for proper introductions.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The right-hander cruised with an efficiency that Mets starting pitchers have often lacked this season, helping his new team roll to a 5-1 victory over the Angels to start a 10-game road trip that includes four cities.
It has left Blackburn in a rotation with Luis Severino, Jose Quintana, Sean Manaea and David Peterson as the Mets continue to compete for a National League wild-card berth. The former Met Guillorme rebounded in the fifth — diving with his back to the infield for a lunging grab on Alvarez’s pop-up that left Alonso stranded at third after drawing a leadoff walk in the inning.
J.D. Martinez chopped a single past first base in the sixth that brought in Harrison Bader with the Mets’ fourth run.
