ESPN.com: McCann haunts Mets again in Orioles' 9-5 win. "James McCann homered and drove in three runs against his former team to help power the Baltimore Orioles past the New York Mets 9-5 on Tuesday night...Dean Kremer (6-9), pitching hours after Zach Eflin became the sixth Baltimore starter to go on the injured list, permitted just two hits and struck out seven in six innings."
NY Post: Mets’ make comedy of errors with series of bizarre miscues in loss. "After the Mets had rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to cut their deficit to two, they erased any thoughts of a comeback with an ugly fielding display...Brandon Nimmo made an awkward dive and got his glove on the ball, but couldn’t make the play. Throwing errors by Nimmo and reliever Danny Young directly followed, allowing two runs to score in the Orioles’ 9-5 victory on Tuesday night."

National Pastime.com: In his first major league start, Grover Powell blanks the Phillies in the Mets' 4-0 victory at Connie Mack Stadium. The shutout will be the only big league win for the 21 year-old right-hander, who after pitching four more scoreless innings in his next appearance will appear to lose his effectiveness when he is struck in the face by a line drive hit by Pittsburgh first baseman Donn Clendenon.
