Jordan Westburg homered and drove in three runs as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Mets 7-3 on Thursday to sweep a doubleheader.

Gunnar Henderson’s pinch-hit home run in eighth inning lifted the Orioles to a comeback win hours after a trade shook up the clubhouse.

The Orioles game on Wednesday against the New York Mets has been postponed because of strong storms moving through Maryland.

Still, because of MLB’s policy that every team must be represented, a player like Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers gets in instead of Soto. While Stowers is having a good season, batting .279 with an .859 OPS, including 16 home runs and 48 RBIs, he trails Soto, virtually, in every category except batting average — Soto’s batting .264.

That beatdown occurred hours after David Peterson pitched superbly into the eighth, but watched Ryne Stanek blow the save in a 3-1 loss in Game 1.

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.

It turns out baseball announcing can be a dangerous profession. During the Mets’ second game of Thursday’s double-header against the Orioles at Camden Yards, broadcaster Keith Hernandez was nearly drilled by a foul ball off the bat of Baltimore outfielder Cedric Mullins.

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.

Trying to survive Thursday afternoon on one run was never a good idea for the Mets, only underscored by the hanging slider Ryne Stanek threw to Gunnar Henderson in the eighth inning.
