Game 5
April 8th, 2017
Baltimore Orioles at New York Mets

Probables: W. Chen (0-0 0.00) vs. J. Niese (0-0 0.00)

The New York Mets (3-1) play the middle game against the stumbling Baltimore Orioles (0-4) at Citi Field.

Game Keys: (BAL) Simply put, the key to an Orioles victory remains getting their pitching back under control. Early on in the first game, it looked like they might have struck gold, as Trevor May left the Mets off the board until the 5th inning. They proceeded to give up 6 runs (5 earned), and have slipped to last in MLB in team ERA with 7.20. They will look to Wei-Yin Chen to give them an awesome pitching performance to ease their pitching woes.

(NYM) Jon Niese is back, having been traded to the Angels prior to the 2015 season. The last 2 years in the American League have not been kind to Niese, as he has only won 6 games in each of his last two seasons, while losing 22 decisions combined (12-22 over 2 years.) The Mets brought him back with hopes that he will regain his form from 2014, when he went 10-5 with a 2.72 ERA.

Broadcast: Today's Game will be played with Quick Counts and will not be broadcast. PostGame highlights will be provided.
