NEW YORK, NEW YORK — The Baltimore Orioles beat the New York Mets 7-5 in 11 innings on Tuesday night at Citi Field, taking the series middle game on Coby Mayo’s inside-the-park home run.
Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jeremiah Jackson homered in the second for a 2-1 lead. Juan Soto’s RBI single tied it in the bottom of the second, and Carson Benge’s solo home run in the third put New York ahead 3-2. Pete Alonso tied it 3-3 with a ninth-inning homer — the 300th of his career.
In the 10th, Encarnacion-Strand scored on a wild pitch for a 4-3 Baltimore lead before Marcus Semien doubled home Carson Benge to knot it again. Mayo then cleared the bases in the 11th with an inside-the-park drive that scored Leody Taveras and Dylan Beavers for a 7-4 edge. Bo Bichette’s RBI single made it 7-5 before Andrew Kittredge closed it out.
