Buck Showalter returning to Baltimore made for a nice story, but it was a player facing his former team that stole the show. James McCann drove in half the team’s runs, and the Orioles used a pair of crooked numbers to out run New York 10-3 at Camden Yards.
David Peterson started for New York and kept the Orioles off the board for the first three innings. Fortunately for Baltimore, the Mets pulled the swingman before the fourth. Peterson had not thrown more than three innings in his last six appearances.
Showalter turned to John Curtiss in the fourth, and Baltimore struck for its first two runs.
