Dodgers' reliever Tanner Scott exits game with arm pain, MRI scheduled
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott left the game in the ninth inning Monday night after feeling pain in his left pitching arm.
It occurred when Scott was pitching to Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers with one out.
'He said it felt like a sting,' manager Dave Roberts said, adding that an X-ray and manual testing didn't reveal any issues. Scott will have an MRI on Tuesday.
However, Roberts said it's likely Scott will need to go on the injured list.
'Hopefully it's something that's more of a scare and then we can kind of put him on ice for a little bit and get him back,' he said.
Scott is 1-2 with a 4.14 ERA and a team-leading 19 saves this season. He gave up a run and walked two on 22 pitches in two-thirds of an inning before leaving the game.

Alvarez's homer helps Mets come back to beat Angels again, 3-2
NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Alvarez hit a tying homer in his second game back from the minors and Ryne Stanek retired Mike Trout with two runners aboard for the final out as the New York Mets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Tuesday night. Brandon Nimmo capped a three-run fifth inning with a go-ahead single, and Frankie Montas (3-1) won his third straight start. Juan Soto threw out a runner at home plate from right field in the first, denying Trout his 999th career RBI. After overcoming a four-run deficit in Monday night's series opener, New York won its third in a row. Nolan Schanuel had a career-high four hits for the Angels, including an RBI double. Jorge Soler launched a solo homer, and Logan O'Hoppe finished with three hits. Angels starter Kyle Hendricks (5-7) allowed only a pop-fly single through 4 2/3 innings before unraveling as the Mets banged out four consecutive hits. Brett Baty doubled before Alvarez connected for his fourth homer this season and first at Citi Field. Ronny Mauricio singled, stole second and scored on Nimmo's single to give New York a 3-2 lead. Rico Garcia and Reed Garrett combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief before Stanek worked the ninth for his third save. With star closer Edwin Díaz receiving a rest, Stanek got Trout on a weak popup to first base to end it. Montas settled in after a rocky start and walked off the mound to a warm ovation after 5 2/3 innings. He permitted two runs and eight hits, striking out six. Key moment After a run-scoring double by Schanuel put the Angels ahead 2-0 in the fifth, they had runners at second and third with one out. Montas whiffed Trout, walked cleanup hitter Taylor Ward to load the bases and retired Jo Adell on a deep fly to center, ending the inning. Key stats Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and is hitless in his last 30 at-bats — the longest drought of his career. He went 0 for 27 late in the 2016 season with Cleveland. ... Soto set a career high with his 13th stolen base. Up next Mets LHP Sean Manaea (0-1, 2.45 ERA) pitches in a Wednesday matinee.

Francisco Alvarez's home run powers Mets to 3-2 comeback win over Angels
The Mets were down early, but a three-run fifth inning -- powered by Francisco Alvarez's two-run homer -- was the difference in their 3-2 win over the Angels at Citi Field on Tuesday night. Alvarez hit 11 homers in Triple-A when he was demoted, but he went deep for his fourth homer of the season, his first since June and his first at home this year. The Mets (58-44) have won three straight games and remain 0.5 games behind the Phillies, who won earlier in the evening. Here are the takeaways... - The Mets' defense helped out Frankie Montas early in this one. Mike Trout hit a one-out single with Nolan Schanuel on second. Juan Soto fielded the ball and threw a one-hopper to Alvarez, who tagged Schanuel to keep the Angels off the board. Soto has six outfield assists after having nine all of last season. Montas benefited from some great defense behind him as he scattered baserunners throughout his outing, only allowing one run on a Jorge Soler bomb in the second inning. However, things started to unravel for the right-hander in the fifth. Montas allowed two doubles with a walk sandwiched between, as the Angels took a 2-0 lead. But Montas would escape a bases-loaded jam and get through five innings. Montas pitched into the sixth but could not complete the inning after allowing a two-out single to Logan O'Hoppe. Rico Garcia picked up the final out of the sixth and ended Montas' night. The veteran right-hander tossed 91 pitches (58 strikes) across 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six. - The Mets' offense was kept in check by veteran Kyle Hendricks through four innings. The only hit came on a Mark Vientos bloop single that centerfielder Jo Adell let drop in front of him. But that all changed in the fifth. With two outs, Brett Baty hit a double and Alvarez plated him with a monstrous two-run shot that got the Citi Field crowd on their feet. It's just Alvarez's fourth longball this season and the first at home. Ronny Mauricio singled and stole second before Brandon Nimmo singled him home to give the Mets a 3-2 lead. - New York could not take advantage of shoddy Angels infield defense, as Alvarez and Mauricio reached on two errors to lead off the seventh. Nimmo and Lindor struck out before Soto was walked intentionally to load the bases. Alonso struck out to end the threat. The top four of the Mets lineup (Nimmo, Lindor, Soto, Alonso) went a combined 1-for-13 with three walks and four strikeouts. Soto did pick up his 13th stolen base this season, setting a new career-high. - The Mets were without Huascar Brazoban and Edwin Diaz after they worked two games in a row, but the bullpen pieced it together. Garcia allowed a hit in one inning of work before Reed Garrett picked up four outs without allowing a baserunner. Ryne Stanek came on to close it out and allowed a leadoff single. Stanek bounced back, striking out Luis Rengifo and getting Zach Neto to fly out. Schanuel hit a single to set up Trout with two outs. The former MVP popped out to Alonso to end the game. Game MVP: Francisco Alvarez The Mets were being dominated by the Angels before Alvarez's two-run blast in the fifth. Highlights What's next The Mets wrap up their three-game set with the Angels on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. Sean Manaea (0-1, 2.45 ERA) will make his second start of the season while the Angels have yet to announce their starter.
