Jordan Westburg homered and Gunnar Henderson had three hits as the Baltimore Orioles beat the visiting New York Mets 7-3 in the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader, completing a rare twin-bill sweep.

Orioles starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (7-5) gave up two first-inning runs and then settled in to complete six innings. He allowed three runs on four hits with three walks and two strikeouts.

Relievers Andrew Kittredge, Gregory Soto and Seranthony Dominguez each worked a shutout inning. The Orioles have won five of their last six games.

Baltimore hadn’t swept a doubleheader since June 2016 vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Mets have lost three of their last four games. Brandon Nimmo had two of the team’s five hits.

Justin Hagenman (0-1) took the loss in relief, yielding three runs (two earned) on four hits in two innings. Brandon Waddell was the starting pitcher for New York, giving up three runs in three innings.

The Orioles won the first game 3-1 by scoring all their runs in the eighth inning. Henderson was the Game 1 hero with a go-ahead, two-run homer.

In the second game, Westburg collected three RBIs, Alex Jackson had two doubles and scored two runs and Cedric Mullins added two hits.

New York got going early, as Nimmo led off the game with a single and Francisco Lindor doubled. Juan Soto plated the game’s first run on a groundout and Pete Alonso hit a sacrifice fly.

Baltimore answered in the second inning with Jackson’s run-scoring double followed by Westburg’s two-run homer. It marked Westburg’s 10th homer of the season.

After the Mets pulled even on Brett Baty’s RBI single in the fourth, the Orioles went back to work.

They scored on Colton Cowser’s single and a Mets error in the fifth. Fielder’s choice grounders by Westburg and Ramon Laureano provided runs in the sixth.

The doubleheader was scheduled following Wednesday night’s rainout.
