A new month made them look like a whole new team at the plate Tuesday night in a 9-5 win over the New York Mets at Camden Yards, with Renato Núñez blasting two home runs, Pat Valaika contributing a career-high four hits and Anthony Santander driving in three runs of his own.
In winning their second straight game after a five-game losing streak, the Orioles (16-19) scored their most runs since Aug. 11, a 16-game span in which they lost 12 times while averaging 3.75 runs per game.
Though they pulled away late, the Orioles got off to a fast start to begin this week-long homestand in good form.
