Mets Rally Past Orioles 7-6 in Extra-Inning Thriller

📰 Mets’ Comeback Win Over Orioles: All-Star Trio Shines in Extra-Inning Thriller

The Mets’ comeback win over the Orioles on Tuesday night was fueled by star power, timely hits, and late-game drama. At Camden Yards, New York’s All-Star-bound talents—Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso—blasted two-run homers in the eighth inning to tie the game, while Juan Soto, a notable All-Star snub, came through in the 10th with the go-ahead RBI single.

This 7-6 victory marks the Mets’ fifth win in six games and shows their postseason hopes are very much alive.

⚾ Game-Changing Eighth Inning: Lindor and Alonso Strike

Trailing 5-2 heading into the eighth, the Mets needed a spark—and they got it from their All-Star duo:

• Francisco Lindor crushed a two-run shot to cut the deficit.
• Pete Alonso followed soon after with another two-run homer, tying the game at 6-6.

The rally was reminiscent of an All-Star showcase, setting the stage for extra-inning heroics.

🧊 Soto’s Redemption: Game-Winning Hit in the 10th

Though Juan Soto was left off the All-Star roster, he played like one. His go-ahead single in the 10th inning drove in automatic runner Lindor, giving the Mets a 7-6 lead. Soto now has 55 RBIs on the season, continuing to prove critics—and selectors—wrong.

🛡️ Díaz and Brazobán Shut the Door

• Edwin Díaz, also All-Star bound, pitched a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the tie.
• Huascar Brazobán followed with a perfect 10th, stranding the Orioles’ automatic runner and earning the save.

Their lockdown performance ensured the Mets completed the comeback in style.

🔥 Mets Rally After Holmes Struggles

Orioles starter Clay Holmes appeared in control early, but his outing fell apart in the sixth:

• He gave up five earned runs on seven hits in 5+ innings.
• The collapse began with a hit-by-pitch and ended with a two-run single by Ramón Laureano.

Despite this, the Mets refused to fold.

📈 Momentum Building: Mets Win 5 of Last 6

Tuesday’s win over Baltimore represents a momentum shift:

• It follows a disappointing Subway Series finale loss.
• The Mets now hold a 5-1 record in their last six games.
• Key contributors like Ronny Mauricio, Brandon Nimmo, and Brett Baty continue to produce.

With the All-Star break approaching, the Mets appear to be peaking at the right time.

🧠 Final Thoughts: Stars Shine, Resilience Defines

The Mets’ comeback win over the Orioles was more than just a regular-season victory—it was a statement. Led by their All-Stars and a motivated Juan Soto, the team demonstrated clutch hitting, bullpen strength, and an unshakable will to win.

If this performance is any indication, the second half of the season could be something special in Queens.
