Summary
Coby Mayo’s inside-the-park homer in the 11th lifted Baltimore to a 7-5 win after Pete Alonso tied it with his 300th career homer in the ninth.
Alonso’s 414-foot solo shot off Kodai Senga came with two outs and saved the Orioles from falling four games behind Cleveland for the final AL playoff spot.
Citi Field fans roared for Alonso — a former Mets slugger who hit a club-record 264 homers there — and chanted “Fire Stearns” after New York let him leave last winter.
Sean Manaea called the curtain call for an opposing player “crazy,” underscoring frustration around a Mets team that entered 2026 with World Series hopes but now owns one of baseball’s worst records.
