The Yankees improved their record to 30-13 on the season after the walk-off victory against division rival Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees are the first team to reach 30 wins this season and are playing like the best team in all of baseball.
Jordan Montgomery started the game for the Yankees. He went six innings and allowed just two earned runs. Reliver Michael King pitched just two-thirds of an inning but allowed three earned runs. It appeared the Orioles were going to win easily, being up by a score of 5 to 3 in the seventh inning.
