Mets Lead Orioles 2-0 After 7-6 Extra-Inning Comeback Win

The New York Mets secured a thrilling 7-6 extra-inning comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, taking a 1-0 series lead. Despite a strong start by Mets starter Clay Holmes, who allowed only one run in five innings, he struggled in the sixth, giving up five earned runs and turning a two-run lead into a deficit. The Mets rallied in the eighth inning with two-run home runs from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, while Juan Soto's single in the tenth provided the decisive run. Ronnie Mauricio also contributed with a solo homer, and Brandon Nimmo's key hits helped ignite the Mets’ offense. The Mets bullpen, including standout performances by Reed Garrett, Edwin Díaz, and Huascar Brazobán, shut down the Orioles in the late innings to preserve the win. This comeback marked New York's biggest of the season and highlighted Alonso's pursuit of the franchise home run record.
