Francisco Alvarez delivered his first walk-off hit with a 421-foot homer, securing a 4-3 victory for the Mets and closing the gap in the Wild Card race.
Despite the Orioles' relievers striking out nine of the 11 batters they faced, Alvarez's game-changing home run proved pivotal in the Mets' comeback.
David Peterson threw seven innings for the first time this season, allowing three runs but demonstrating improvement with only one walk and eight strikeouts.
After Alvarez's blast, the Mets are now just 1.5 games away from the third Wild Card spot, intensifying the playoff chase.
