The Yankees also scored in the bottom of the
fifth. Rob Refsnyder walked and stole second base with nobody out. After Brett
Gardner struck out, Jacoby Ellsbury singled up the middle to score Refsnyder
and give the Yankees a 3-0 lead.
Nathan Eovaldi looked phenomenal as he brought back his cutter which was tough to hit tonight. He only gave up four hits in five and one-third innings of work. He was great up until the top of the sixth inning when he allowed one run to score and left the bases loaded for Anthony Swarzak with one out.
Anthony Swarzak got the Yankees out of the jam when he forced Mark Trumbo to pop out foul to Rob Refsnyder who made a terrific running catch and held the runner at third with a strong throw to the plate. He then forced Jonathan Schoop to pop out foul to Didi Gregorius to end the inning and keep the damage to only one run.
Chase Headley capped off the scoring in the bottom of the eighth with a two run home run that scored Castro who had reached on a fielder’s choice earlier in the inning.
Swarzak continued his dominant performance for two and two-thirds innings and was replaced by Nick Goody to begin the ninth inning. Goody shut down the Orioles in the ninth inning striking out the side to secure the win.
