The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-3 in the second game of Friday's doubleheader, with the teams splitting the pair. According to reporting, what may end up as the final Orioles game of the year followed a familiar pattern of strikeouts and defensive struggles for Baltimore.
Yankees pitchers dominated the strikeout column, combining for 17 strikeouts across the game. Will Warren struck out seven in his outing, while Anthony Volpe drove in two runs for New York. The Yankees scored first and their bullpen held on through a late rally attempt by Baltimore, per multiple outlets.
The victory came after the Yankees lost the first game of the doubleheader. One report noted that New York "projected a much better image in the nightcap" after that earlier loss in what was described as "ugly fashion."
