Jason Vargas had his best start of the year but the Mets still managed to lose 6-3 in Baltimore.
The southpaw was solid for six innings but the Orioles got on the board first when Vargas walked Renato Nunez with one out in the fourth. Adam Jones doubled and with runners on second and third Mark Trumbo hit a sacrifice fly to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead.
The Mets struck back in the fifth against Andrew Cashner with RBI singles by Kevin Plawecki and Amed Rosario with two-outs to put the Mets in front.
