Chris Bassitt anchored the victory with a steady outing, limiting the Mets to a lone run while working deep into the game and striking out six. Baltimore’s pitching kept the damage contained after the early lead was established.
Pete Alonso homered in the first to put Baltimore in front. Jeremiah Jackson’s homer brought Christian Encarnacion-Strand home in the second, and Encarnacion-Strand’s homer brought Coby Mayo across in the third. Samuel Basallo then homered to extend the lead. Marcus Semien’s single brought Jared Young home for New York, but Basallo added another run when his single brought Encarnacion-Strand across in the ninth.
New York’s offense could not sustain pressure against Bassitt and the Orioles. Jefry Yan provided scoreless relief for the Mets, but Xzavion Curry allowed Baltimore’s early surge to stand as the defining stretch of the game.
Baltimore extended its winning streak, while New York’s losing streak continued. The game belonged to the Orioles from the opening swing, and the early burst left the Mets searching for answers.
