Baker’s nightmare 8th dooms Orioles, as Baltimore falls to Mets 7-6 in extra innings

Bryan Baker surrendered a four-run lead in the 8th and Yennier Cano couldn’t keep the Mets off the board in the 10th, as the Orioles fell 7-6 against New York in extra innings.

With the O’s up 6-2 in the top of the 8th, Tony Mansolino turned to the usually reliable Baker against the top of the Mets order. Brandon Nimmo led off the inning with a single to center field, and then All-Star Francisco Lindor jumped on a 1-0 fastball, sending it over the center field fence.

Baker tried to regroup, but things only got worse against Juan Soto and Pete Alonso.
