The circus was in town during the ninth inning at Citi Field.
After the Mets had rallied for four runs in the eighth inning to cut their deficit to two, they erased any thoughts of a comeback with an ugly fielding display.

Brandon Nimmo made an awkward dive and got his glove on the ball, but couldn’t make the play.
Throwing errors by Nimmo and reliever Danny Young directly followed, allowing two runs to score in the Orioles’ 9-5 victory on Tuesday night.
“We got back in the game and we gave it back right away,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “We just got to stop the play. Nimmo makes an attempt at a diving play — can’t make the play. Then we throw the ball to home plate. At that point, we just got to stop the play. Once you start throwing the ball all over the place, it’s not a good thing.”
