Orioles overcome three-run deficit, fall 4-3 on walk-off blast
The Orioles’ bullpen briefly stole the show with a pair of unlikely contributors, but Baltimore’s most trusted reliever gave it all back with one pitch. Seranthony Domínguez grooved a 3-0 fastball to Francisco Alvarez, and Alvarez wiped away Baltimore’s three-run comeback with one swing of the bat.
Colin Selby and Keegan Akin blanked the Mets for 3.1 innings before Alvarez launched the walk-off blast. The Orioles fell 4-3 in the first of three at Citi field.
The game began 10 minutes late due to weather in the area, but Baltimore’s offense needed more time than that. Meanwhile, Trevor Rogers delivered the type of outing that passes the lowest bar for a fifth starter.
