NEW YORK — This time, Gunnar Henderson came through in the clutch.
The Baltimore Orioles' star shortstop hasn't often been the source of big hits in key spots this season, a down year in several regards. Henderson, who still has yet to collect a walk-off hit in his career, entered Monday's game with a .674 OPS in close-and-late situations
That moment will have to wait, but Henderson enjoyed the next best thing Monday with a go-ahead home run in the eighth to help Baltimore beat the New York Mets, 2-1. With the score tied and the Orioles looking for a big hit all night, Henderson took right-hander Dedniel Núñez deep for his 23rd home run of the season and his first since Aug. 30.
Baltimore (73-78) won the series opener to give Pete Alonso a happy homecoming in his first game back at Citi Field since the Orioles signed him away from the Mets in free agency. The home team treated Alonso, who spent seven seasons in Queens, to a scoreboard tribute video and multiple standing ovations. Entering the game sitting on 299 career home runs, he went 0 for 3 with a walk.
With the win, the Orioles pulled back to within three games of the third American League wild-card spot. Their playoff odds have dwindled to the single digits, but Baltimore is not yet eliminated with 11 games left to go.

Cesc Fabregas has been left seriously impressed by Barcelona's current level under Hansi Flick, describing the Blaugrana's performances as "frightening" ahead of their eventual Champions League meeting with his Como side.
Fabregas, who came through Barcelona's academy and later played for the first team, watched Barça's recent European victory over Feyenoord and highlighted their ability to escape almost any tactical problem thrown at them.
The Como manager was speaking after his own team made an emphatic start to their Champions League campaign, beating Leipzig 4–1 in a statement result on their European debut.
Barcelona's ability to find answers regardless of the opposition's approach stood out most to Fabregas.
"I watched Barça's match yesterday and I can tell you that Feyenoord are a very good side, but the thing is, Barça make you look bad because they find a way out of every situation at all times.

The San Francisco 49ers are Down Under to open their NFL season against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, and ABC7 Eyewitness News will have complete coverage from Australia and the Bay Area.
ABC7's J.R. Stone has arrived in Melbourne and will have live reports in the lead-up to the season opener and the latest on how 49ers fans are enjoying everything Australia has to offer.
The Niners arrived in Melbourne Friday morning, held a light practice on Saturday, took Sunday off and then have a normal stretch of three practices on Monday through Wednesday before playing the opener on Friday morning.
They will leave right after the game and are expected to land back in the Bay Area on Friday afternoon. They then will be able to take the weekend off before preparing for the Week 2 game against Miami on Sept. 20.
"It's a big adjustment on the body," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "So, the recommendation for everybody has been to tell us when to go, and it's made a lot of sense. I know how our players feel also. I was a little bit on the fence. Science wasn't and what I was reported on and our players weren't at all. So that helped me get off the fence."

Paul Casey leads the Omega European Masters by three strokes heading into the final round on Sunday.
Casey will be looking to chalk up the 16th DP World Tour victory of his career on Sunday at Crans-sur-Sierre.
The Englishman joined LIV Golf back in 2022, so we don't see him play as much on the DP World Tour as we once did.
However, with LIV Golf set to head in a different direction in 2027, Paul Casey may well decide to play more golf on the DP World Tour.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the fourth round of the US Open with a straight-set victory over Wu Yibing and said he's getting better every match in the wake of his four-month injury absence.
China's Wu kept Alcaraz hopping with an aggressive baseline game, but Alcaraz came through 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 to line up a meeting with American Tommy Paul for a place in the quarter-finals.
Paul, seeded 20th, beat 15th-seeded Alexander Bublik 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 6-3.
Alcaraz won the Australian Open in January for his seventh Grand Slam ******* le. But the 23-year-old arrived at Flushing Meadows having not played since April as he recovered from a wrist injury.
His lack of match play -- and the pressure Wu applied -- was evident in 33 unforced errors, the Spaniard showing plenty of frustration along with satisfaction.

On the eve of the Scottish FA's highly-anticipated summit on youth development in Scotland, one of the country's own stole the show in a thrilling Edinburgh derby.
And as it happened, the new national team head coach, Sebastien Pocognoli, was in the Easter Road stands as Josh McPake spearheaded Hearts' entertaining victory over Hibernian.
Even before the Belgian was appointed, there were some calls from the Tartan Army to include the 25-year-old winger, such has been his emphatic start to life in Gorgie since making the switch from St Johnstone in the summer.
The clamour for his inclusion is now becoming inescapable.
A Rangers youth product, the question hanging over McPake since signing his pre-contract with Hearts in January, was could he cut it among the big boys.
