- Ryan Mountcastle opened the scoring with a solo homer, and two Yankees errors helped Baltimore build a two-run sixth that included a sacrifice fly and Samuel Basallo’s RBI grounder.
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-run homer to become a 30-30 player for the first time in his career.
- Gunnar Henderson added an RBI double for a late cushion, and Keegan Akin earned his eighth save after New York stranded runners in scoring position when Giancarlo Stanton grounded out in the eighth.
- Toronto’s 20-1 loss in Kansas City kept the gap at three games, and the series continues Saturday night with Carlos Rodón scheduled to face Tomoyuki Sugano.
