The damage started with an error, and Baltimore never recovered. A third-inning miscue by Gunnar Henderson opened the door for the Yankees, who poured in three runs that inning and never let go, beating the Orioles 6-1.

Gerrit Cole was the difference. Over 6.0 innings, he allowed just 4 hits and 1 run while striking out 8 against a single walk, improving to 7-6 with a 3.11 ERA. He turned the ball over to Ryan Yarbrough, who worked 3.0 hitless, scoreless innings with 4 strikeouts to close it out. Between them, New York's pitching staff allowed one run all night.
The Yankees broke through in the third. José Caballero reached on a fielder's choice as Spencer Jones scored on a missed catch error by Henderson, giving New York a lead it would not relinquish. Ben Rice followed with a single to left that brought home Austin Wells, and Heliot Ramos doubled to center to score Rice, turning a one-run edge into a 3-0 cushion in a single inning. New York kept adding on: Luis García Jr. and Spencer Jones both homered in the sixth, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. tripled in the eighth to score García.
Baltimore's lone run came from Dylan Beavers, who homered in the fifth to cut the deficit to 3-1. Starter Kyle Bradish lasted 5.2 innings, allowing 5 runs (3 earned) on 8 hits with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts, and fell to 7-12 on the season with a 3.70 ERA. The Orioles' bullpen added 3.1 innings and allowed 1 more run, but Baltimore's offense could not generate anything beyond Beavers' solo shot.
New York extended its winning streak to four games, improving to 72-55. Baltimore has now dropped four straight, falling to 61-67. Bradish sits at 1,472 career innings pitched, 28 shy of the 500-inning-pitched milestone.
