Yankees ride five-run inning to 6-2 win over Orioles, snapping four-game losing streak
The Yankees offense rode a five-run inning and Will Warren bounced back with a strong start as New York defeated the Orioles, 6-2, in Baltimore on Tuesday night. New York scored just eight runs over their last four games, but the Yankees' six runs are the most since they scored nine on May 7. The win snapped the Yankees' four-game losing streak.
Here are the takeaways... -The Yankees offense was in the midst of a slump, but Paul Goldschmidt got the scoring started by homering off of Tyler Rogers -- making his first start off the IL -- on the first pitch of the game. They would pour it on in the third by scoring five runs.
The first two came on ground balls (one fielder's choice that Cody Bellinger beat out at first, and an infield single by Amed Rosario , and the big blow came on a three-run shot by Trent Grisham to give the Yankees a 6-0 lead. -Warren pitched a dud in his last start, allowing six runs in 4. 0 innings, but he was much better on Tuesday.
But he was almost betrayed by his defense. In the third, with a six-run lead, an error by Max Schuemann at short while trying to start a double play and Ryan McMahon , who made a nice sliding grab but threw it to second base to start a double play, but Rosario didn't cover the base to allow bases loaded and no outs. Warren got Taylor Ward to fly out to shallow right field, and then Adley Rutschman grounded into an inning-ending double play for the young right-hander to escape without allowing a run.
Warren would settle back in, pitching into the sixth without allowing a run. However, Taylor Ward mashed a ground-rule double to lead off the inning and was almost stranded at third if not for Samuel Basallo 's single. Tyler O'Neill followed with a double that Grisham tried to make a diving catch on, but the attempt allowed the ball to skip away from him and a backing-up Aaron Judge , which allowed the second Orioles run to score.
