BALTIMORE (AP) --- Gerrit Cole pitched six sharp innings, Luis Garca Jr. and
Spencer Jones homered and the New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep in
Baltimore with a 6-1 victory over the Orioles on Thursday night.
Cole (7-6) allowed four hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. A fifth-inning
homer by Dylan Beavers produced the lone Baltimore run. The Yankees pulled
within four games of AL East-leading Tampa Bay.
Ryan Yarbrough relieved Cole and pitched three perfect innings for his third
save.
The Orioles have dropped four in a row after briefly taking sole possession of
the lead in the race for the final American League wild card. Kyle Bradish
(7-12) allowed three earned runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, and Baltimore
also permitted a pair of unearned runs in the third.
With men on first and third and nobody out that inning, second baseman Jackson
Holliday fielded a tough grounder and threw to second, but shortstop Gunnar
Henderson dropped the ball for an error and everyone was safe.
With a run already in, Bradish induced a double play, but Ben Rice followed
with an RBI single and then Heliot Ramos brought in a run with a double that
made it 3-0.
Beavers' drive to right made it 3-1, but Garca and Jones answered with solo
shots to chase Bradish in the sixth. Jazz Chisholm Jr. tripled in a run in the
eighth.
There was no controversy about this New York win, a night after Pete Alonso's
deep fly ball against the Yankees was ruled foul with the game tied. Alonso did
single twice Thursday to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games.
Cole (1,015) moved one strikeout ahead of Roger Clemens for 12th place on the
Yankees' career list.
