Call it the James McCann revenge game.
The ex-Met and current Baltimore Oriole catcher, playing in his first game against his old team, had three hits and a walk with five RBIs and even a stolen base in the Amazin’s ugly 10-3 loss to the Orioles on Friday night at Camden Yards.
But the backstop slashed .220/.282/.328 with an OPS+ of 70 over two seasons as he formed one of the worst offensive catching duos with Tomas Nido.Hitting eighth in the order, McCann, 33, drew a walk against David Peterson in the second but did some real damage two innings later against right-hander John Curtiss.Getty Images
McCann followed that up in the sixth with a booming shot high off the left field wall, just missing a three-run homer, settling for a two-RBI double.
