BALTIMORE -- Facing an incredibly tough pitcher in Mets All-Star Jacob deGrom, the Orioles made a baserunning move in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 loss that proved to be costly.
Down 3-0, Baltimore shortstop J.J. Hardy doubled to the right-field wall for the first extra-base hit of the night off deGrom. Henry Urrutia followed with a bloop single into left field and Hardy rounded the third base bag and turned for home. He was barely halfway down the line when Mets outfielder Michael Conforto came up firing, hitting catcher Travis d'Arnaud on the bounce to easily complete the inning-ending putout.
