12th win in 14 games
NEW YORK (AP) --- Cody Bellinger went 4 for 4 with two homers and four RBIs,
leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 9-4 on Saturday for
their 12th win in 14 games.
Bellinger hit a pair of solo homers on sliders, putting the Yankees ahead in
the second off Kyle Bradish (1-4) and boosting the lead to 6-1 in the fifth
against Keegan Akin for his 21st multi-homer game, his second this season. He
hit a RBI double in a two-run third and a RBI single in the seventh.
Trent Grisham hit a two-run homer in the fourth and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a
run-scoring single in the seventh as the Yankees moved a season-high 11 games
over .500 at 22-11.
Ryan Weathers (2-2), hoping to remain in the rotation when Carlos Rodn and
Gerrit Cole return from injuries, allowed three runs --- one earned --- three
hits and two walks in five-plus innings. Yankees starters have a big
league-best 2.62 ERA.
Baltimore lost its third straight and dropped to 0-7 against left-handed
starters. The Yankees had to pause their end-of-game celebration for a few
seconds while Blaze Alexander unsuccessfully appealed a called third strike.
Peter Alonso homered for the second straight day in his first trip to New York
since leaving the Mets for the Orioles. His sixth home run this season was his
fourth in nine games.
Bellinger's 363-foot drive into the right-field short porch in the second would
not have been a home run in any other big league ballpark, according to MLB
Statcast.
Jasson Domnguez went 1 for 4 as he returned to the Yankees' lineup for the
first time since he was struck on his left elbow by a pitch on Wednesday.
New York's Giancarlo Stanton said he hit in an indoor cage Friday for the first
time since straining his right calf while running the bases at Houston on April
23.
Up next Yankees LHP Max Fried (4-1, 2.09) starts Sunday against Orioles RHP Trey Gibson, a 23-year-old being called up for his major league debut after going 2-2 with a 4.01 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Norfolk. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
