Mets rally late for comeback win over Orioles



BALTIMORE — The Mets staged a mini version of the All-Star game in the eighth inning on Tuesday before their snubbed right fielder later helped finish the job.

Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, both of whom will represent the Mets next week at the Midsummer Classic, resurrected the Mets by each hitting a two-run homer in the eighth.

Juan Soto (so far an All-Star snub) stroked a go-ahead single in the 10th in a 7-6 comeback victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards.

The third Mets player headed to Atlanta for the All-Star game, Edwin Diaz, worked a scoreless ninth before Huascar Brazoban got the final three outs for the save.

The Mets won for the fifth time in six games, regaining momentum after losing the Subway Series finale on Sunday.

Soto’s RBI single in the 10th against Yennier Cano brought in Lindor, the automatic runner. Brazoban followed with a perfect inning, with the automatic runner remaining stranded at second.   

Clay Holmes’ night collapsed in the sixth when he faced five batters, didn’t record an out, and surrendered four earned runs to place the Mets in a 5-2 hole.

Overall, the right-hander allowed five earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk over five-plus innings. It was a fifth straight start in which Holmes failed to complete six innings.
