Orioles vs. Mets Game Highlights (8/20/24) | MLB Highlights

earlier today the noted Mets fan Kevin James the King of Queens throughout the first pitch on one hop Christian Scott I got I got three things to three to say God Bless America God bless our troops tro God bless the New York and Gentlemen let's play there's a touch of fall in the air and last night felt like autumn in the opener of the three- game series between the Mets and the Orioles so the Mets looking to make it two in a row over the Orioles so canana will get set for his 25th start of the year last start he had a 5 nothing lead early gave up a grand slam to JJ blay and the A's came back to win that game open for better today it's 32 is low another walk and the Orioles get a two- out Bas Runner sand there still though second in the American League 36 home runs and tied for third and the majors of the 32 and S there gets a hold of one high in the air to deep left field and the Orioles are on the board early on a two-run sand there shot number 37 comes at City Field on a breaking ball from Jose kintana that's s Tere broke yeah he hangs one and the Orioles hangs two run on him in a hurry Anthony flexes the muscles after the two out walk from Henderson he scores his 99th run the Orioles rotation more and more decimated with Zack effin going on the injured list today that puts a lot more stress on Dean Kramer yeah coming off that win against the Nets where he goes six Innings only gives up five hits one run and a great splitter gets him Dean Kramer with a couple of swinging strikes another running Sinker with that late bite pitch to nmo and he'll swing first ball and pop it up behind second base walking into the grass is Henderson now on the back of the dirt Kramer sets the Mets down one two three after getting the lead Colton cower leads off against Jose kintana Fly ball out to left Center back in the Gap goes nmo back near the fence and he got it and lost it and got it again he got the ball oh they're going to have to go back and check clearly hit the wall no question he never had control the baseball right there I can just tell you right now Brandon Hyde you know for a team that's not scoring a lot of runs and lost last night by a run if they do not get this right he's not going to be happy after review the call on the FI is overturned nope no catch run the third base the Umpire discretion is that he would have it was good base running he did not stop easily he could have stopped so a rocky beginning for canana two-run Homer by santand in the first and now the overturn call results in a triple for cowser starting the second and he got him swinging on a change up but James mccan the better now a lot of trust that he will find his way to get a Fly ball somewhere to get that run in from third pitch to mccan and a Fly ball in the short Center Taylor's got a good AR cower runs well Taylor at shallow Right Center to the plate it is not caught would have been a very tight play but Alvarez couldn't snatch it and M and will get a sacrifice fly to make it three nothing Orioles JD Martinez Alonso and Winker on Deck a bouncing ball over to Henderson making his 123rd start of the year at Short another strike out looking at a sinker on the outside corner a splitter Dean Kramer two strikeouts in each of his first two innings of work and it's inside ball four so Kramer after retiring the first six tonight issues backto back walks to the seven and eight hitter gets Tyrone Taylor to the plate as the tying run kind of hoping for a ground ball at somebody if you're the orios struck Him Out Swinging big strike out for Dean that's his Fifth and they still have it another strike out on a splitter against Lindor so after back-to- back walks back-to- back strikeouts and now a path out of trouble for Kramer facing Vientos is the tying run and he drives one down the left field line that's going to go into the corner Alvarez will score mcneel digging for third he'll be held up there it's an RBI double from Mark Vientos his 50th one batted in to get the Mets on the board the Yos coming through with two outs and the Mets crowd trying to get behind the slumping Brandon nma Oriel still have a two-run lead three to one but a base hit could eras that very quickly to the right side holl from right field the throw is just in time Kramer strands two in scoring position good to see cowser get a knock he has been struggling and he rips this into right field backing up the right fielder Waker it's over his head and off the wall cowser racing to second base and he'll make it there standing so cser's at second base and Jose Katana who's been behind all game little Tapper off the end of the bat Alvarez tries to Bear CER coming home and the front door is wide open oh what great face running and Hower credit him he went to third saw nobody was home because Alvarez went for the ball and he ran right through when a cow is charging through the bar and get out of the way the Mets certainly did and now here comes McAn has just been an enormous thorn in the side of the team that is still paying his salary we' had a huge game against the Mets last year three for three with five RBI the smokes it James mccan hits one to Manhattan up into the second from daket City Field the former met takes his revenge on his old team and his first game back here as a visitor it's 6 to one out of McAn slam the left and I'm sure if you're a Met fan you're going why didn't he do that more often for us but boy of the Orioles fortunate to get him the that's of a one out base runner and now Jesse Winker will bat one-on-one out Jesse Winker oh left side gunner try to get there he will with a basket catch he charged so hard he nearly overran it gunar Henderson raced toward shallow left and got there and took what would have been a base hit and big trouble away what a play by gutter Henderson Co is a five pitch walk two down to this top of the fifth jenez coming up with 61's in the fifth jenez left center field there's a hit for ly got to the change up all the way to the base of the wall Here Comes Henderson racing around third and he will score without a throw and the Orioles lead is extended again it is now 7 to1 in the fifth inning we say canana five innings seven runs one of those bad outings that start to pile up on canana Kramer's dazzled five innings he's allowed just two hits one run walk three and struck out six he trying to get through six and have a quality start the two2 a called strike three strike out number seven for Dan another one looking Lonzo pops it up left side Henderson calls off for Rez a very strong and a very quick 1 two 36 for Dean Kramer the night is over for Dean Kramer he was really good Cisco has now reached base safely in 19 straight games that's lined to left center field and lindor's got himself another hit cut off by Mullins Lindor is going to try for two the throw is wide and Lindor has his second double of the night and bentto hits a grounder right at the short stop but bobbled by Henderson and he has no play and the Mets get a break there and the Mets have two on one out and Brandon nmo coming up and Nemo cracks one down the right field line that's going to go in the corner Lindor will score digging for third is Vientos he'll be held up there nibo into second base with an RBI double and the Mets creep a little bit closer it's now seven to2 the kind of games that hurt no matter what because now Canó if he comes in the game would pitch for a fifth time and seven days this late in the year that is a lot of stress well plus you have two guys in your both in you're afraid to use well what if you pitch him with the lead and they don't maintain it very difficult spot for Brandon hi and the orial bullpit that's with their chance here in the eighth inning trying to build on the eror by Henderson they've got one- one home still got a lot of work to do and JD hits one deep to center field back goes Mullins to the warning track at the wall it's out of here JD Martinez connects for a three-run Homer and the Mets are right back in and it's s to5 what better bet is there than JD Martinez against the Baltimore Orioles his 37th home run against Baltimore and the Orioles need a pitching change as Bert Smith has gotten tattooed for three extra base hits here in the eighth kind of thing that just can't happen for a tired Bullpen this late in the year it does happen the city field crowd sensing a Feeding Frenzy five more outs to go it's only a two-run game this is one of those games you feel like you can snatch this away finally put in play Henderson with another chance this one he makes and a strike out for Canó Rocka by Bader and so Canó comes in and puts down the uprising after the Mets score four in the eighth Mets took the first game of the series in dramatic fashion last night looking for some more drama tonight after falling behind big early this is a inning for Danny Young that has to keep it here give the Mets a chance Mullen smokes it LA on left that Ball's wallet into Center for base hit mullin's running and the pitch is inside a single and a walk and here come the Orioles now with two onone out for gunar Henderson well a big opportunity here for Henderson shot the other way in the left nmo got a great jump and it's off his glove it kicks behind him it's sitting behind the tarp Mullins will come in to score and then young throws down to third throws it away it's off the tart backed up by Nemo Here Comes Mount Castle he scores thr a third oned time it's an absolute mess and they're going to go home two run score on a little league play full of wild throws and boneheaded mistakes and the Orioles get two back me TS mess it's 95 Greg Kimble is coming on needs a couple of outs then it's been a struggle as of late don't want to do that now got a four-run lead that's made some noise though in the eighth and now they're down to their final strike and the two two is painted perfectly for strike three the Orioles win it 9 to five a game that was enough to drive you crazy if you let it
