Mets starter Sean Manaea retired his first 17 batters and Mark Vientos put New York ahead 3-2 with a solo homer in the seventh.
New York Mets' Jesse Winker reacts after hitting a walk off home run against the Baltimore Orioles during the ninth inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024, in New York.
“Huge series for us, especially winning two games the way we did it — walk-off homers against a really good team,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “Both times, we had the lead and we lost it late in the game and then we were able to find a way. And this is all about finding ways to win games.” “I saw it go over the fence and I blacked out,” Winker said, laughing. “I have no other answer than that. It was a full blackout moment for me.”
Manaea was one strike from finishing six perfect innings when he drilled Jackson Holliday behind the shoulder with a 2-2 fastball, quieting a building buzz in the stands. After yielding an infield single to start the eighth, Manaea was pulled. He permitted only three hits in his latest terrific performance, striking out nine and walking none during an efficient 90-pitch outing.
