It leaves the Mets in need of a shortstop \u2014 Mauricio became the starter last week after Francisco Lindor was placed on the IL with a left calf strain.<\/p>\n<p>Warren was ahead 0-2 in the count with two outs before Peraza ended it with a line drive single to left. Warren had walked Jorge Soler and allowed a single to Jo Adell in the inning, moving the automatic runner to third base.<\/p>\n<p>Adell\u2019s single in the first gave the Angels a 1-0 lead, but the run should not have counted: replays showed Jorge Soler was tagged out attempting to race first-to-third before Nolan Schanuel touched home plate.

In the seventh, after the Mets had tied the game, Bichette batted with the bases loaded and hit into a fielder\u2019s choice out at the plate. The Mets never took the lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a chance to win it,\u201d Bichette said. \u201cI had two chances and didn\u2019t get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his shortest career start, Nolan McLean lasted just four innings, allowing three earned runs on six hits with six strikeouts and one walk.<\/p>\n<p>Bichette\u2019s RBI single in the third tied it 1-1. Austin Slater, in his first start for the Mets, doubled before Bichette delivered against Reid Detmers for his 15th RBI this season.<\/p>\n<p>Vaughn Grissom\u2019s two-run single gave the Angels a 3-1 lead. Soler walked and Adell singled before McLean\u2019s wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. After Grissom delivered, Peraza singled, but McLean avoided further damage by striking out Travis d\u2019Arnaud for the final out.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Former Yankee Oswald Peraza leaps into the air after hitting the game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning of the Mets\u2019 loss to the Angels.

Bichette grounded into a fielder\u2019s choice out at home plate before Soto struck out against Sam Bachman.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Ibanez brought in the inning\u2019s first run with a sacrifice fly before Taylor\u2019s RBI single tied it.<\/p>\n<p>Slater then singled and Mauricio\u2019s squib to first base became an infield single following a replay challenge won by the Mets.<\/p>\n<p>But Mauricio fractured his left thumb on the dive into the bag.

Huascar Brazoban ended the inning by retiring Soler.<\/p>\n<p>Myers allowed three hits and one walk over 2 \u00b2\/\u2083 scoreless innings.
