Year: 2025; Game #93; Thursday, Jul 10 (1); NYM 1 @  BAL 3   boxscore WP:  Wolfram ; LP:  Stanek ; Save: Bautista Time: 2:34 Day; Attendance: 25,262 Record: 53-40; Standings:  2; Games up/behind: 1.5; L; 1 Game Losing Streak;

Laura Albanese Newsday: "[David Peterson] was all but untouchable for seven innings and was in the midst of preserving a 1-0 lead when he allowed a single by Colton Cowser to lead off the eighth. That’s when manager Carlos Mendoza decided to summon Ryne Stanek from the bullpen despite Peterson’s economical pitch count." 

Mike Puma NY Post: "Trying to survive Thursday afternoon on one run was never a good idea for the Mets, only underscored by the hanging slider Ryne Stanek threw to Gunnar Henderson in the eighth inning...As Juan Soto looked up, Henderson’s shot disappeared into the right-field seats for a two-run homer that helped send the Mets to a 3-1 loss in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Camden Yards." 

Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: "Tyrone Taylor drove in the only run of the matinee game with an RBI double off right-hander Charlie Morton in the top of the fifth inning, his first extra-base hit since June 29, and his first RBI since June 26. It was the only hit with a runner in scoring position for the Mets in the game in 11 tries, and the Mets went 2-for-19 with runners in scoring position on the day."
