Hot Start for the Yankees!
What a start for our New York Yankees! Right from the top of the 1st, excitement was through the roof. Alex Verdugo got things rolling with a single to right. Although Juan Soto grounded into a fielder’s choice, Aaron Judge walked, pushing Soto to second. Thanks to a wild pitch, both advanced, setting the stage for our offensive explosion. Ben Rice struck out, but Gleyber Torres reached on an infield single to bring Soto home. And then, boom! Austin Wells homered to right, driving in Judge and Torres. We ended the first inning with a solid 4-0 lead, setting the tone early.Yankees Dominate from the Mound
Yankees pitching was the story of the game, effortlessly shutting down the Orioles.

The likes of Jordan Westburg, Ryan Mountcastle, and Adley Rutschman were left flailing. A critical double play in the 8th and more strikeouts sealed the deal. By the 9th inning, Cousins came in to close, and despite a single, a game-ending double play wrapped it up neatly.Game Over: Yankees Victorious!
