Orioles end nine-game losing streak to Mets on homer in ninth

BALTIMORE – Henry Urrutia broke a ninth-inning tie with his first major league home run, and the Baltimore Orioles ended a nine-game losing streak against the New York Mets with a 5-4 victory Wednesday night.

Jonathan Schoop and Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who hadn't defeated the Mets since June 18, 2009.

Baltimore rallied from 3-1 and 4-3 deficits before Urrutia led off the ninth with a drive into the seats in left field off Carlos Torres (4-5). That gave the Orioles a split of the two-game series and their fifth win in six games.

Zach Britton (4-0) worked the ninth for Baltimore.

Daniel Murphy and Wilmer Flores both homered and had two RBI for the first-place Mets, who have lost four of five.

After Schoop made it 3-3 in the sixth with a two-run homer, Flores put New York up 4-3 in the seventh with a solo shot off rookie Mychal Givens.

Jones answered in the bottom half, connecting off Hansel Robles to tie the score.

That ruined Syndergaard's bid for his first big-league road win. He's 7-1 at home and 0-5 in eight starts on the road.

Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez allowed three runs, five hits and four walks in five innings.
