Jordan Westburg conectó un jonrón e impulsó tres carreras para que los Orioles de Baltimore derrotaran el jueves 7-3 a los Mets de Nueva York,

The New York Mets visit the Baltimore Orioles Thursday for the first game of a doubleheader and the second game of a 3-game series.

The series is now tied at one game apiece following Baltimore’s late rally for a 3-1 win. Gunner Henderson came off the bench and stroked a two-run pinch hit home run in the bottom of the eighth to propel the O’s to the win. David Peterson (7IP, 1ER) and Charlie Morton (6IP, 1ER) engaged in a pitchers’ duel until Henderson’s heroics.

Right-hander Ryne Stanek relieved David Peterson and served up a two-run home run to Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson, overtaking the Mets for a 2-1 win.

Keith Hernandez had zero clue that a ball almost drilled him. During the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader between the Mets and the Orioles, Hernandez was inches away from being struck by a foul ball hit by Baltimore outfielder Cedric Mullins while in the SNY booth at Camden Yards.

Keith Hernandez narrowly avoided getting hit in the head by a foul ball while in the SNY booth during the Mets game against the Orioles.

The New York Mets could be on the hunt for relief pitching this season, which might turn them to the Baltimore Orioles to poach a flamethrower.

The Mets aren’t alone in trying to ensure their pitchers get the right amount of work before the four-day break, but a Thursday doubleheader will make that more complicated.
