New York Yankees vs Baltimore Orioles Match Player Stats On Aug 25, 2018

Austin Romine homered while Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton each had RBI singles, and the New York Yankees defeated the host Baltimore Orioles 5-1 in the second game of a day-night doubleheader at Camden Yards on Saturday night.

The victory completed a sweep of the doubleheader and gave New York wins in the first three games of the series, which concludes Sunday night. The Yankees had entered the series with a 6-6 record versus the struggling Orioles this season.

Baltimore now has lost seven consecutive games.

New York starter Sonny Gray (10-8) has been inconsistent throughout much of this season but is 4-1 in five starts against the Orioles, giving some of his best performances. The right-hander allowed just three hits in 6 1/3 shutout innings, striking out seven.

His last four appearances had been in relief, and Gray had not started since Aug. 1, when he gave up seven runs as the Orioles handed the Yankees a 7-5 loss. Dellin Betances came on in the ninth and retired the final batter for his first save this season.

Baltimore starter Andrew Cashner (4-12) lasted seven innings and gave up four runs (three earned) on nine hits.

Hicks gave New York a 1-0 lead in the first with an RBI single. The Yankees added two more in the second with a bit of help from Baltimore.

Gleyber Torres scored from third on a Cashner wild pitch with Brett Gardner up. Torres slid in under Cashner's sliding tag, which gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead.

Gardner then hit a grounder to first baseman Trey Mancini, who had a good shot to nail Romine at home. However, Mancini's throw pulled catcher Caleb Joseph off the plate, and Romine scored on the fielder's choice that made it 3-0.

In the fourth, the Orioles' defensive woes added to another New York run. Mancini dropped a throw to first for an error that extended the inning, and Stanton added a two-out RBI single that gave the Yankees a 4-0 edge.

Romine belted a solo homer in the ninth that made it 5-0. Jace Peterson got an RBI single in the bottom of the inning for Baltimore's only run.
