Wednesday night in Baltimore, Henry Urrutia hit a solo walk
off homer off Carlos Torres in the bottom of the 9th inning. The
Orioles beat the Mets 5-4. The Mets took a 1-0 lead immediately in the top of
the 1st when Daniel Murphy hit a solo homer, his 9th
homer on the year to make it 1-0 Mets. In
the 4th Wilmer Flores’ RBI single scored Travis d’Arnaud for a 2-0
lead. The O’s got to Mets starter Noah Syndergaard
in 4th. Pitching out of trouble Syndergaard allowed only a opposite
field RBI single to Steve Clevenger. In
the 5th Curtis Granderson and Murphy hit back to back doubles and it
was 3-1 Mets. In the bottom of the 6th Jonathon
Schoop tied the game and knocked Thor from the box with a 2 run homer, his 9th
on the year tieing the game at 3. In the top of the 7th Wilmer
Flores clubbed his 12th homer of the year off Mychal Givens to give
the Mets a 4-3 lead. The Mets looked to
Hansel Robles to hold off the O’s in the bottom of the 7th, but he
yielded a solo homer by Adam Jones, his 23rd of the year and the
game was tied at 4. After Tyler Clippard pitched a scoreless 8th,
Torres entered in the bottom of the 9th and Urrutia led off the
frame with the solo blast to left, his first major league homer to give the O’s
the walk off victory and a 1 all split of this mini-two game series.
Syndergaard gets the no decision going 5 innings allowing 8 hits 3 runs (all
earned) walked 3 and striking out 6.
Torres takes the loss falling to 4-5. Zach Britton gets the win he’s
4-0. Daniel Murphy continued his hot hitting going 2 for 4 with the homer and
RBI double, Flores went 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBI as well. With the loss the Mets are now 64-56 on the
year and 22-35 on the road. The Nats play in Colorado. The Mets are currently 4
games up, that lead will swing a ½ game either way pending that outcome. The
win is the first time in 10 games that the O’s have beat the Mets. Next up the
Mets get their 2nd off day of the week on Thursday. Friday night the Mets start a 3 games weekend
series against the Rockies in Colorado.
Bartolo Colon (10-11 4.58) goes for the Mets.
