In a night filled with electric energy at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees pulled off a stunning comeback against the Baltimore Orioles, sealing a dramatic 6-5 victory with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Yankees had trailed for most of the game, struggling to get past Baltimore’s strong bullpen, but a late surge in the final innings turned the tide.
Down 5-3 going into the ninth, the Yankees showed grit and determination. Gleyber Torres led off with a double down the left field line, followed by a walk from Anthony Rizzo. With two men on, DJ LeMahieu slapped a clutch RBI single to right, cutting the deficit to one. The stadium roared as Aaron Judge stepped to the plate and delivered another key hit — a double to left-center that tied the game. Moments later, Giancarlo Stanton hit a sharp grounder that deflected off the glove of the Orioles’ third baseman, bringing home the winning run and sending fans into a frenzy.
The win not only keeps the Yankees on top of the AL East but also showcases their ability to rally under pressure. Manager Aaron Boone praised the team’s resilience, saying, “That’s the kind of fight we want to see every night. Never out of it.”
The Orioles, despite a strong showing, were left stunned. Their bullpen, which had been dominant in recent weeks, faltered under the pressure of Yankee bats and the Bronx crowd.
With this win, the Yankees improve to 19-12 on the season, maintaining their momentum as May begins and the playoff race slowly begins to shape up.
