Yankees were up 5-3 entering 9th inning
The Baltimore Orioles pulled off an improbable win over the New York Yankees on Sunday, capitalizing on their opponents’ ninth-inning mistakes to score three runs. Baltimore entered the final half-inning down 5-3 as the Yankees went up with a three-run inning of their own. Yankees reliever Clay Holmes came into the game to close the door.
Baltimore first baseman Ryan O’Hearn walked to put two runners on base, but they went down to their final out as Gunner Henderson struck out looking. Adley Rutschman walked to load the bases, and that’s when chaos happened. Ryan Mountcastle hit a grounder to Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, who bobbled the ball and allowed a run to score. Cedric Mullins then hit a shot toward left fielder Alex Verdugo, who misjudged the play.
Still, Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about how the team has played in recent weeks despite a cold stretch. 'Frankly, it’s no secret it’s been a rough few weeks for us. As much as we try and stay in that even keel, and I think we do a good job of that, we’re still human, and you feel those rough parts of the season, and it hurts a little more when you wake up when things aren’t going well,' he said, per NJ.com.
Baltimore moved to 58-38 with the win. New York fell to 58-40. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
