Michael Conforto was the hero for the Mets with the bat this afternoon in Baltimore, knocking in five runs in total in a victory over the Orioles. Two of those came in the form of a two-run homer in the first inning off John Means that handed Michael Wacha an immediate lead to work with. Wacha had an easy first inning, but allowed two runs in the second inning to tie the game, struggling mightily with his control. The second inning also featured Jake Marisnick smashing into the center field wall, Aaron Rowand style, but managing to stay in the game afterwards.
Final Score: Mets 9, Orioles 4—Scooter and the Big Man
