The Mets' spot starter let up four homers and the offense mustered seven hits in their 7-1 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday night.

Here are the takeaways...

-- Pete Alonso, receiving a standing ovation for the third night in a row, took Xzavion Curry deep in the first inning to give the O's an early 1-0 lead. It wouldn't be the last homer Curry would allow, as former Mets prospect Jeremiah Jackson launched a two-run shot in the second.

In the third, Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit a two-run shot and then Samuel Basallo followed up with a solo shot.

-- Robert Stock was originally scheduled to start, but was placed on the IL. Curry was called up to start and was not effective. He allowed six runs on six hits and one walk across three innings. However, the relievers behind Curry did their job, especially Jefrey Yan. The southpaw was recalled Wednesday when the Mets placed Daniel Duarte on the IL and he pitched three perfect innings. Jack Weisenburger pitched two scoreless innings before giving up a run in his third and final inning of work.

-- Chris Bassitt was on the mound for the Orioles and the former Met had one of his best starts of the season. The right-hander went 6.2 innings -- tying a season-high -- allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out six.

-- Marcus Semien had the only RBI for the Mets, an RBI single in the fourth that scored Jared Young. Francisco Lindor went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts but remains at 299 home runs for his career. A.J. Ewing went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. He was the only Met to have a multi-hit game.

Game MVP: Chris Bassitt

Bassitt gave Baltimore just what they needed. After the O's had to use seven relievers in Tuesday's win, Bassitt gave Baltimore length and effectiveness.
