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. 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. Los Angeles' bullpen gave up two hits over four scoreless innings, with Roansy Contreras working a perfect ninth to earn his second save. New York has dropped consecutive one-run games for the first time all season. Canning permitted three hits with four walks and eight strikeouts to win for the first time since June 24.
