BALTIMORE (AP) Trent Grisham hit his 17th home run in the third inning and had a two-run single in the seventh to propel the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Yerry De los Santos (1-0) pitched two innings of scoreless relief for the Yankees (70-55), who began the series opener in possession of the top AL wild-card place and six games behind Tampa Bay for the AL East lead.<\/p>\n
Yankees left-hander Carlos Rod\u00f3n allowed Coby Mayo\u2019s 17th homer during four innings in his first start after nearly two months on the injured list with inflammation in his throwing elbow.<\/p>\n
Brent Headrick and Fernando Cruz got through the seventh, Paul Blackburn completed the eighth and David Bednar worked a perfect ninth for his 28th save in New York’s second straight win.<\/p>\n
Orioles right-hander Shane Baz (4-13) struck out a season-high 10 in 6 1\/3 innings but was charged with all three New York runs after he departed with two men on.<\/p>\n
Josh Walker came on and faced back-to-back pinch hitters, walking Paul Goldschmidt to load the bases and striking out Amed Rosario. Grisham followed, lined Walker’s 2-2 offering into center field to give him his second multi-RBI game in seven days.<\/p>\n
Baltimore (61-65) lost its second straight after beginning the night in a three-way tie with Detroit and Texas for the final AL wild-card spot.<\/p>\n
Yankees right-hander Will Warren (8-6, 4.42 ERA) looks to rebound after allowing three homers, four walks and five runs in a four-inning outing last Wednesday. The Orioles answer with righty Chris Bassitt (4-4, 5.11) in his second start since undergoing minor back surgery in late June.<\/p>\n
