The Baltimore Orioles visit the New York Mets on Monday to begin a three-game series, looking to bounce back from a recent series loss. The matchup carries an uncommon storyline: both Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor are tied at 299 career home runs, giving each a chance to reach the 300-homer mark during the same series.

Alonso, who previously played for the Mets, returns to New York as a member of the Orioles. Lindor will bat leadoff for the home team at shortstop. The Mets will start right-handed pitcher Jonah Tong, per available lineup information.
