Baltimore twice pulled even, and twice the Yankees found an answer. The last one came in the eighth inning, and this time it held. New York left Camden Yards with a 5-3 win, its third straight, while the Orioles dropped their third in a row.

Dylan Beavers supplied the loudest home crowd moment, going 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and an RBI. His solo shot in the sixth inning tied the game at 3-3, erasing the lead New York had carried since the third. It was the type of swing that keeps a lineup in a game it otherwise trailed most of the night.
The Yankees answered for good in the eighth. George Lombard Jr. singled off the glove of third baseman Coby Mayo, and Heliot Ramos scored to make it 4-3, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. advancing to third and José Caballero to second on the play. That was the go-ahead run, and Baltimore never got even again. Earlier, New York had grabbed its first lead in the second, when a sacrifice fly by Lombard scored Spencer Jones after Ryan McMahon's RBI single had tied things at 1-1. Ben Rice added a solo home run in the third, his 34th of the season, before Pete Alonso answered with one of his own in the bottom half.
Chris Bassitt started for Baltimore and allowed 3 runs on 8 hits over 5.2 innings, striking out 6 with 1 walk. The Orioles' bullpen covered 3.1 innings and allowed 2 runs, with Cam Sanders taking the loss after allowing 2 runs in just 0.2 innings. New York starter Will Warren went 4.0 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits, and the Yankees' bullpen finished the job, covering 5.0 innings and allowing just 1 run. Brent Headrick picked up the win, and David Bednar closed it out for his 29th save of the season.
The result pushed New York to 71-55, second in its division, extending its winning streak to three games. Baltimore fell to 61-66, losing its third straight.
