Seems like we've been giving up a lot of two-out runs lately.

We, on the other hand, don't do two out RBIs.

- Two NYM hits
- Four BAL leadoff hitters on base in 7 innings.
- Three of the seven runs scored with two outs.
- and then there's the 35-ft hit which scored a runner from 2nd

They really haven't yet recovered from that.

Even though the Orioles had been already winning 3-1, I'm calling that the Turning Point of the Game.

I guess I'd like th thank the O's for pulling the guy who retired four straight following the 3R HR ... but it probably doesn't matter at this point.

The game ending on a caller third strike is only too fitting.

But at least Taylor also took the first pitch for a called strike. That helped. Because the Mets were trailing. So don't swing at the first pitch.
