The Orioles just weren’t quite good enough on Wednesday night. They held the lead most of the night over the host Mets, but poor pitching performances and defensive wizardy from their opponents put the O’s on the wrong side of a 7-6 defeat.
Cedric Mullins kick-started the Orioles offense, as he does often, with a single to begin the game. After moving to second on a groundout, Mullins came around to score on a Renato Nunez flare single into right field.
The O’s didn’t stop there.
