Mets Clobbered Orioles 11-4 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to Complete Sweep Sunday

My Wife and I were driving out of Baltimore yesterday as the fans were going into Oriole Park forty minutes before game time. I tried talking Her into taking a detour into the parking to attend the game but it wasn’t meant to be and glad we didn’t as traffic and pouring rain on the drive home was a bit much. The Orioles play-by-play radio announcers on 105.7 The Fan are excellent by the way as we listened until losing the signal and switching over to WFAN-AM. Oriole starter Kevin Millwood was shelled yesterday giving up 5 earned runs in the 1st inning and it got uglier from there. David Wright hit a 2-run homer in the 1st inning and another in the 6th leading the way with 4 RBIs. Chris Carter (aka Animal) hit another homer in this game as well. Jose Reyes contributed 2 hits, Jason Bay went 4-for-4 with a homer and Alex Cora went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs. The Mets needed to sweep this series and they showed up and did so. We were so glad to go to the first two games of the series. The Mets are 7 games over .500 and in second place, 1 ½ games behind the National League East Leading Atlanta Braves. The Mets travel to Cleveland to play the Indians for a 3-game series before heading to Yankee Stadium for the second Subway Series this season.
