On July 10, 2025, the Baltimore Orioles swept the New York Mets in a doubleheader at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, winning Game 1 by a score of 3-1 and Game 2 by 7-3. The Mets vs. Orioles matchup showcased strong pitching and timely hitting by Baltimore,

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

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.

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.

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.

A couple months from now, it will officially be 10 years since the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Mets in 5 games to claim their second World Series title in franchise history. (11-year-old Trenton was so happy.)

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.

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.

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.
