Urrutia HR In 9th Inning Gives Orioles 5-4 Win Over Mets

Henry Urrutia was rounding the bases after hitting his first major league home run, and one thought crossed his mind:

''I can't believe this.''

Urrutia broke a ninth-inning tie with a drive into the seats in left field, and the Baltimore Orioles ended a nine-game losing streak against the New York Mets with a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.

Jonathan Schoop and Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who hadn't defeated the Mets since June 18, 2009.

Baltimore rallied from 3-1 and 4-3 deficits before Urrutia led off the ninth against Carlos Torres (4-5).

On a 1-2 pitch, Urrutia smacked an opposite-field liner that landed in the hands of a Mets fan.
