Judge walked 3 times in his first recreation again from a toe harm, however the Orioles saved New York off the scoreboard with a spectacular defensive effort.

In the eighth inning alone, Santander made a lunging, sliding catch in proper discipline, and second baseman Adam Frazier made a diving cease on Anthony Rizzo’s grounder with a person on second.

“Great defense, great pitching, that’s how we win baseball games,” Santander stated.

Orioles rookie Grayson Rodriguez pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings, going toe to toe with New York’s Gerrit Cole, who went seven. Félix Bautista (6-1) struck out two in a scoreless ninth. Kahnle (1-1) couldn’t match that within the backside half, permitting Santander’s one-out drive that went nicely past the fence in right-center discipline.

The Orioles remained 1 1/2 video games forward of Tampa Bay atop the AL East, and so they now lead the last-place Yankees by 9.

The recreation was delayed 2 hours, 32 minutes by rain, however that did little to dampen the passion of a crowd that included a mixture of Yankees followers cheering Judge and Orioles followers embracing their first-place workforce.

“Right before the start of the game, it felt like a playoff game,” Santander stated. “That’s good to have those fans to support us. Hopefully they can continue to do that.”

Judge lined out to proper discipline on the primary pitch to him within the first, however he reached base the opposite 3 times he got here up.

Anthony Volpe was robbed twice by stellar Baltimore protection. Third baseman Ramón Urías made a diving cease on his one-hopper within the fifth. In the eighth, Volpe led off with a fly to proper that Santander reached out and caught earlier than sliding on his abdomen throughout the grass.

New York finally had two on and two out that inning when Rizzo’s grounder seemed headed to proper discipline. Frazier’s diving play prevented that.

“Defence won us the game,” Orioles supervisor Brandon Hyde stated. “Adam Frazier, diving play off Rizz. Santander with a great diving catch. We turned some double plays.”

Each workforce had solely 4 hits. Rodriguez was one in all Baltimore’s prized prospects, and after being despatched again to the minors for a bit, he could also be discovering a groove.

“I just love his delivery right now and the tempo of his delivery,” Hyde stated. “Just really, really competitive.”
