The Mets turned their fortunes around in Baltimore to the tune of a 14-1 rout of the Orioles, earning the series split at Camden Yards. The Mets faced off against old friend Matt Harvey for the second time in 2021. And for the second time they had his number.
This night’s contest began with an absolutely spectacular catch by Cedric Mullins on a ball off the bat of former Oriole Jonathan Villar that was destined for the gap in left-center. But after a good at-bat from Francisco Lindor resulted in a one-out walk, Pete Alonso hit a blast off Harvey to left-center that would not be caught by Mullins—a two-run homer and his third home run in two nights—to put the Mets on the board early.
