Legendusashirt: Mets’ Star Trio Delivers Late in Thrilling Comeback Win Over Orioles
In a game that had all the hallmarks of a crushing defeat, the New York Mets orchestrated their biggest comeback of the season on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, snatching a thrilling 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
The Mets, trailing 6-2 heading into the eighth inning, seemed destined for a disheartening loss. But the script flipped dramatically. After Brandon Nimmo singled to lead off the eighth, Francisco Lindor stepped to the plate and blasted a two-run home run, slicing the deficit to 6-4 and igniting the Mets' dugout. Just moments later, after a Juan Soto single, Pete Alonso launched his own two-run shot, a game-tying blast that sent the collective groan through the Orioles faithful and erupted the visiting crowd.
With the game tied, the Mets pressed on. After a scoreless ninth inning from Edwin Diaz, the game headed to extras. With Lindor as the automatic runner on second, Juan Soto, often referred to as "an All-Star for us" by manager Carlos Mendoza, ripped the first pitch he saw from Orioles reliever Yennier Cano into center field for the go-ahead RBI single, putting the Mets up 7-6.
While the Mets loaded the bases, they couldn't add more insurance, but Huascar Brazobán closed the door in the bottom of the tenth, securing his second save of the season and completing the improbable comeback.
