Summary
Coby Mayo’s 11th-inning inside-the-park homer lifted Baltimore to a 7-5 win after Pete Alonso tied it with two outs in the ninth against Kodai Senga.
Alonso’s 414-foot solo shot was his 300th career homer and came against the Mets, the club for which he hit a record 264 home runs before joining the Orioles in December.
28,097 fans at Citi Field gave Alonso a curtain call after the blast, extending the warm reception from his return series and prompting chants of “Fire Stearns.”
Sean Manaea called the crowd’s celebration of an opposing player “crazy,” underscoring tension around a Mets team he said has underperformed.
Three Mets fans returned the milestone ball after the game, and Alonso swapped signed bats, balls and jerseys, plus beers and 2027 Camden Yards tickets.
