After a strong comeback in Game 2, the Baltimore Orioles will look to win their series against the New York Mets on Wednesday. The O's dominated the Mets with their powerful offense, while Dean Kremer worked his way around on the mound in the 9-5 win. Kremer had seven strikeouts in six innings pitched.
The O's will hand over the ball to Cole Irvin in Game 3. Irvin's pitching has been a bit shaky, with a 4.85 ERA and a 6-5 record. The southpaw has plenty of room for improvement, so the O's must step up on offense.
The Mets, meanwhile, were unable to do much, as their pitching squad and the bullpen failed against the O's. While the offense racked up four runs, it was not enough to outscore the O's, who scored nine runs from the plate. The competition is tough for the Mets as they try to punch a ticket to the playoffs.
Left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea will get the ball as the starter. Manaea has been a bright spot for the Mets with a decent 3.46 ERA and has a 9-5 record this season. With the right support from the plate, Manaea should pick up a win.
