August 19th 2015 -- Orioles 5, Mets 4

Wednesday night in Baltimore, Henry Urrutia hit a solo walk off homer off Carlos Torres in the bottom of the 9^th inning. The Orioles beat the Mets 5-4. The Mets took a 1-0 lead immediately in the top of the 1^st when Daniel Murphy hit a solo homer, his 9^th homer on the year to make it 1-0 Mets.  In the 4^th Wilmer Flores’ RBI single scored Travis d’Arnaud for a 2-0 lead.  The O’s got to Mets starter Noah Syndergaard in 4^th. Pitching out of trouble Syndergaard allowed only a opposite field RBI single to Steve Clevenger.  In the 5^th Curtis Granderson and Murphy hit back to back doubles and it was 3-1 Mets.   In the bottom of the 6^th Jonathon Schoop tied the game and knocked Thor from the box with a 2 run homer, his 9^th on the year tieing the game at 3. In the top of the 7^th Wilmer Flores clubbed his 12^th 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 7^th, but he yielded a solo homer by Adam Jones, his 23^rd of the year and the game was tied at 4. After Tyler Clippard pitched a scoreless 8^th, Torres entered in the bottom of the 9^th 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 2^nd 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.
