Baltimore starter John Means (8-7) allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings in his first start back from the injured list. He had been sidelined since July 25 due to a biceps strain.

New York took control when it scored the game's first four runs in the fourth inning. Maybin got an RBI single that fell between center fielder Stevie Wilkerson and right fielder Trey Mancini, who appeared to have their signals crossed on the play.

Maybin homered leading off the ninth, and Higashioka added a two-run homer later that inning.

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis and manager Brandon Hyde had a disagreement in the dugout in the middle of the fifth inning, and Davis needed to be restrained. Hyde then sent up a pinch hitter for Davis.

After the game, Hyde said the team was keeping details of the incident private.
