The Mets triumphed over the Orioles 7-6 in a ping-pong affair at Citi Field. For the second game in three days, the Mets erased an early deficit in the later innings. But unlike Monday’s game against the Phillies, the Mets held on for the victory this time, bailing out yet another mediocre starting pitching performance.
Rick Porcello lasted just four innings in his outing, giving up a staggering ten hits in all. The Orioles got right to work off Porcello in the first. Cedric Mullins led the game off with a single and advanced into scoring position on a groundout.
