On Tuesday night, the Baltimore Orioles overcame an 8-run 7th inning by the New York Yankees to end their 5-game winning streak and win 9-6. The Orioles had a 4-0 lead going into the 7th inning, but the Yankees put up 8 runs in the top of the inning to take a 6-4 lead.
The Orioles responded with 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th to retake the lead. Trey Mancini hit a 2-run home run to tie the game, and then Jonathan Villar hit a 3-run home run to give the Orioles the lead. The Orioles held on for the 9-6 victory.
The win was a big one for the Orioles, who have been struggling this season. They have been in last place in the AL East since April and have been unable to get much momentum going. This win over the Yankees, who have been one of the best teams in baseball this season, was a huge confidence booster for the Orioles.
The win was also a big one for the Orioles’ pitching staff. Starter Andrew Cashner pitched 6 strong innings and allowed just 1 run before giving way to the bullpen. The bullpen then shut down the Yankees in the 8th and 9th innings to preserve the win.
The Orioles will look to build on this win as they continue their season. They will face off against the Yankees again on Wednesday night in a game that could be a big one for both teams. The Orioles will look to build on their momentum and try to get back into contention in the AL East, while the Yankees will look to get back on track and continue their winning ways.
