BALTIMORE — The Mets staged a mini version of the All-Star game in the eighth inning on Tuesday before their snubbed right fielder (at least so far) helped finish the job later.

Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, both of whom will represent the team next week at the Midsummer Classic, resurrected the Mets by hitting a two-run homer apiece in the eighth. Juan Soto (who hasn’t been named an All-Star, but is certainly worthy of the honor) stroked a go-ahead single in the 10th in a 7-6 comeback victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards.

The third Mets player headed to Atlanta for the All-Star game, Edwin Diaz, worked a scoreless ninth.

“Phenomenal win tonight led by the ‘Fab Four,’ ” team owner Steve Cohen tweeted.

Soto’s RBI single in the 10th against Yennier Canó brought in Lindor, the automatic runner.

Soto, who finished 3-for-5 with an RBI, admitted he’s disappointed to have been excluded from the All-Star game following a surge that included winning National League Player of the Month for June.

His remaining path to Atlanta would be as a roster replacement.

Would Soto prefer the days off or does he want an All-Star appearance?

“I think it’s a lot of money on the table obviously if I make it,” said Soto, who received a record $765 million contract from the Mets last winter.

“There’s a lot of players out there that have great numbers and deserve to be there, but they can only take [so many] guys. They can’t take all the guys into it.”

With Diaz already spent, Huascar Brazobán fired a perfect 10th inning, leaving the automatic runner stranded at second base.

“It’s big, because we’re winners,” Brazobán said through an interpreter. “And when the hitters make that effort to tie the game and then take the lead, in our minds it’s, ‘Alright, let’s keep it here. Let’s go out there and do our job.’ ”

Clay Holmes’ night collapsed in the sixth when he faced five batters, didn’t record an out, and surrendered four earned runs to place the Mets in a 5-2 hole.

Overall, the right-hander allowed five earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk over five-plus innings.

It was a fifth straight start in which Holmes failed to complete six innings.

“He was pretty nasty for the first five innings, he dominated that lineup,” manager Carlos Mendoza said.

Holmes walked Cedric Mullins in the third and it cost him: Jackson Holliday delivered a two-out RBI single for the game’s first run after Mullins had advanced to second on a ground out.

Brandon Young threw an immaculate fifth inning, recording three strikeouts on nine pitches.

Jesse Winker, Jeff McNeil and Luis Torrens were the footnotes to Orioles history. Kevin Gausman was the previous Orioles pitcher to record an immaculate inning, in 2018.

But the Mets showed life against Young in the sixth.

Ronny Mauricio homered leading off the inning and Brett Baty and Brandon Nimmo delivered successive doubles (the latter of which gave the Mets a 2-1 lead).

Lefty Gregory Soto entered to retire Soto and intentionally walked Alonso before retiring pinch-hitter Mark Vientos for the third out.

Holmes’ downfall began when he plunked Holliday leading off the bottom of the inning.

Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson each singled to load the bases and following a visit by pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, the right-hander surrendered a two-run double to Ryan O’Hearn.

Holmes was allowed to face right-handed hitting Ramon Laureano and allowed a two-run single that gave the Orioles a 5-2 lead.

Richard Lovelady recorded two outs before Laureano was picked off third base by Torrens to end the inning.

Holliday launched a solo homer against Alex Carrillo in the seventh that extended the Orioles’ lead to 6-2. Carrillo, in his MLB debut — he spent the last four seasons pitching in independent leagues — surrendered one earned run over 1 ¹/₃ innings.

Lindor smashed a two-run homer in the eighth that pulled the Mets to within 6-4.

Nimmo, in a seven-pitch plate appearance, singled to begin the inning before Lindor jumped on a 97-mph fastball from Bryan Baker and cleared the center field fence for his 19th homer this season.

“[Nimmo] gave me an opportunity to see every pitch and the way he was fouling the pitches off I knew kind of what the pitch was doing,” Lindor said. “He did a fantastic job all day of giving us information of what the ball was doing.”

Soto singled before Alonso went deep for his 21st homer this season to tie it 6-6. The blast gave Alonso 75 RBIs this season.

Reed Garrett navigated the eighth by getting Tyler O’Neill to hit into an inning-ending double play after O’Hearn walked leading off the inning.

Colton Cowser singled in the inning to put the go-ahead run at second base.
