Schwarber took Gavin Stone deep for a solo homer to lead off the first inning. After drawing a walk in the third, he plated two more runs with a double in the fifth. And with two runners on in the sixth, he slugged a three-run homer off Joe Kelly. Leading off the top of the ninth, Schwarber blasted his third home run of the game off Michael Grove. The 31-year-old slugger is hitting .261/.390/.504 with 27 homers, 79 runs scored, 73 RBI, and five steals across 479 plate appearances.

Mullins came through with the biggest hit of the evening in the fifth inning, smacking an RBI single off of MacKenzie Gore that plated Ryan O’Hearn with the go-ahead run. He then deftly swiped second base, but the Orioles couldn’t cash him in from there. The 30-year-old outfielder is enjoying a nice renaissance to start the 2025 season, slashing .295/.433/.590 with six homers, 20 RBI and five stolen bases.

O’Hearn delivered a game-tying RBI single off of MacKenzie Gore in the fifth inning, then raced around to score with the go-ahead run on an RBI knock from Cedric Mullins. The 31-year-old struck out in each of his other two plate appearances in the ballgame. He’s having another solid season for the Orioles so far, slashing a healthy .283/.358/.483 with three homers, seven RBI and one stolen base.

The 29-year-old right-hander allowed a one-out infield single to Keibert Ruiz to put the tying run on base, then pinch-runner Nasim Nunez swiped second to put him in scoring position. Bautista rallied though, getting Nathaniel Lowe on a ground ball to second base and Amed Rosario on a bouncer to short to end it. On the season, Bautista has compiled a 2.57 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and an 8/6 K/BB ratio over his first seven frames.

Povich struck out five batters on the night while issuing only one base on balls. After getting obliterated by the Reds in his last outing, Povich showed once again why he’s such a highly regarded prospect in this one, baffling the Nationals’ hitters for most of the evening and generating plenty of weak contact. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single by Josh Bell in the second inning. Povich got eight whiffs on 87 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 34 percent. Assuming that he doesn’t get replaced in the rotation by Kyle Gibson, he’ll look to further improve upon his 5.04 ERA and 1.72 WHIP when he takes on the Yankees at home on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the second inning as he ripped an RBI single into center to plate Amed Rosario. That would be his only hit in three trips to the plate. The early results have been pretty brutal for Bell, slashing a woeful .148/.258/.321 with four homers and 12 RBI in his first 93 plate appearances.

The 26-year-old southpaw piled up eight strikeouts on the evening while allowing only one base on balls. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning as Ryan O’Hearn and Cedric Mullins each had run-scoring singles. Gore generated 14 swings and misses on 99 pitches on the night — six of those on his slider — while registering a CSW of 26 percent. Now 2-3 on the season, he’ll carry a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 53/9 K/BB ratio (35 innings) into Tuesday’s divisional battle against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

With Francisco Alvarez expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday, Senger was no longer necessary as a depth piece on the team’s active roster. The 28-year-old backstop hit just .179 (5-for-28) with zero RBI and a 9/1 K/BB ratio in his limited action with the Mets.

As anticipated, McNeil will be back in uniform with the Mets for their weekend series against the Nationals in Washington. The 33-year-old went 11-for-28 (.393) with a pair of homers and three RBI on his minor league rehab assignment. He should see regular action for the Mets against right-handed pitching.

As expected, with Jeff McNeil returning from the injured list, Baty gets squeezed off of the Mets’ active roster for the time being. The 25-year-old was hitting just .205/.246/.352 with one homer, four RBI, one stolen base and a 19/3 K/BB ratio in 58 plate appearances with the big league club.

The 37-year-old outfielder is slashing a cringe-inducing .184/.267/.224 on the season and if he keeps it up much longer, he’s going to lose a whole lot more than just an occasional start. Alexander Canario will start in his place on Thursday evening and bat sixth against Angels’ southpaw Tyler Anderson.
