Orioles Halt Losing Streak, Beat Yankees 4-3

The Baltimore Orioles snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the New York Yankees 4-3, thanks to a three-run homer from Ryan O'Hearn and a dominant five shutout innings from Japanese rookie Tomoyuki Sugano, who struck out a career-high eight batters. Despite being outhit by the Yankees, the Orioles capitalized on early walks and timely hitting, while their bullpen held off a late New York rally, with Félix Bautista closing out the game for his fourth save. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and centerfielder Cedric Mullins emphasized the team's resolve to stay positive and not panic despite their last-place standing in the AL East, expressing confidence that the team can turn things around. The Yankees, led by Aaron Judge's extended on-base streak, nearly erased a four-run deficit but stranded nine runners and struck out 15 times. This game marked the first meeting of the season between the division rivals, with the Orioles taking encouragement from improved situational hitting even as they continue to seek consistency. Both teams look ahead to the next games of the series, with the Orioles aiming to build on this momentum.
