BALTIMORE (AP) — Renato Núñez hit two home runs, Anthony Santander also went deep and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Mets 9-5 Tuesday night to stretch New York’s losing streak to five games.

Núñez hit a three-run drive off Mets newcomer Ariel Jurado to give Baltimore an early lead. After New York made it 5-all, Santander’s 11th homer of the season capped a three-run sixth against Franklyn Kilome (0-1).

Núñez tacked on a solo shot in the seventh, his fourth career two-homer game and second this season.
