BALTIMORE — Yankees Break Losing Streak with 6-2 Win Over Orioles

On Tuesday night, the Yankees scored more runs in a single inning than they had in the final innings of their previous four-game slump.

They emerged victorious with a 6-2 win over the Orioles at Camden Yards, as their offense—absent at the start of this road trip—sparked back to life with five runs over three innings.

Trent Grisham delivered a three-run homer that capped a five-run surge, helping the Yankees (27-16) bounce back after managing only eight runs in their last four games. This brief resurgence provided some support for Will Warren, who started strong with 5⅓ innings before the bullpen sealed the game.

“You know this game has its ups and downs, so I think it’s vital to come ready every day, put in the work, and really enjoy it,” said Paul Goldschmidt, who set the mood with a home run on the first pitch. “It’s called a game for a reason. There are going to be tough losses, but that doesn’t diminish the effort and competitiveness. I feel great about where I’m at, and so is the team.”

Ryan Weathers had already made a case to stay in the rotation when Gerrit Cole comes off the injured list. Warren followed suit, ensuring that the Yankees took advantage of his performance this time.

The right-hander faced challenges due to shaky defense but managed to allow just two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six hitters.

The Orioles (19-24) didn’t score until the sixth inning and by then, trailed 6-0.

Goldschmidt again led off the game with a home run against a lefty, this time sending Trevor Rogers’s pitch deep into the left-field stands.

In the third inning, the Yankees loaded the bases—thanks to a single from slumping Austin Wells and back-to-back walks by Aaron Judge and Ben Rice.

Cody Bellinger then hit a fielder’s choice that manager Aaron Boone described as “amazing,” bringing in a run for a 2-0 lead.

Goldschmidt remarked, “That big inning shows the kind of player Belli is, always hustling. One key play or pitch can change everything for us.”

Amed Rosario also contributed with a chopper that gave the Yankees a 3-0 advantage.

Grisham, who has often hit hard without much payoff, followed with a three-run homer off Rogers to center field, marking his sixth home run of the season. The play showcased the kind of big hit the Yankees had sorely needed during this trip.

Boone noted, “I thought we had solid at-bats, letting Rodgers do his thing while we set up with a couple of good walks. Then Grisham came through with a massive swing.”

Another pivotal moment came from shortstop Max Schumann’s impressive defensive play in the third inning, followed by a throw from third baseman Ryan McMahon to Rosario after the Orioles had loaded the bases.

Despite facing pressure, Warren held strong, getting a fly out to right that went unchallenged and finishing the inning with a double play.

Warren reflected, “I think it’s a mental thing. I try my best to throw strikes. I have to approach it knowing they will make plays, and when they don’t, I’ve got to keep pitching and find a way out.”
