The Mets are back up. They were down, then up, then down big before tying the game with four runs in the top of the eighth inning. On a night when stifling heat and humidity enveloped Camden Yards, the Mets came into Baltimore on Tuesday night like The Wire’s Omar Little and caused havoc after the home team took a lead.

In the seventh, Holliday hit a solo homer off Alex Carrillo – the flame-throwing former-Independent league pitcher that the Mets signed out of Venezuela last winter – to put the Orioles up 6-2. Carillo otherwise performed well in his major-league debut, allowing only that hit in 1 1/3 innings.
