The New York Mets secured dramatic victories against the Baltimore Orioles in their recent series, highlighted by walk-off home runs from Francisco Alvarez and Jesse Winker. On Monday, Alvarez hit a 3-0 fastball from Seranthony Dominguez to clinch a 4-3 win, marking his first home run since July 26. Winker followed up with a pinch-hit opposite-field homer on Wednesday, also against Dominguez, to lead the Mets to another 4-3 victory. These wins have kept the Mets within 1.5 games of the final NL Wild Card spot. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the significance of these wins against strong opponents as the team prepares for a critical 10-game road trip against top Wild Card contenders, the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks.
