.''We just did some things the last couple innings that allowed extra base runners, allowed runners to move up,'' manager Brandon Hyde said.Zach Britton (2-0) worked the eighth and Aroldis Chapman got three outs for his 12th save, ending by striking out Jonathan Villar with a 101 mph fastball.New York's third straight comeback win, sandwiched around a defeat on Saturday, was led by Torres. The shortstop is 17 for 35 against the Orioles with three multihomer games, and eight of his 10 home runs have come against Baltimore. Sanchez hit seven of his 13 versus the Orioles, who have allowed a major league-leading 97.Hanser Alberto and Renato Nunez homered for the Orioles. Subbing in the leadoff spot for the slumping Villar, Alberto moved within a triple of hitting for the cycle by the fourth inning. He doubled in the first, added his third home run in the third and added an RBI single in the fourth.After hitting a fly ball in the sixth, Alberto got his career-high fourth hit before Villar entered as pinch runner.It was all for naught.''There was a good vibe, you know, even though obviously it wasn't going our way early and we were down big,'' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. ''It was kind that theme in the dugout, just chip away at this.'' Orioles starter Andrew Cashner allowed three runs over six gritty innings, and ended up watching Baltimore absorb another defeat and fall to 15-32.''To me this is the toughest one of the season for sure,'' he said.Not all the mistakes were made by Baltimore. Voit aided the Orioles when he allowed Trey Mancini's foul pop to drop near first in the sixth inning and Mancini followed with a sacrifice fly.Yankees starter J. A. Happ allowed six runs and a pair of solo homers in 3 2/3 innings, but New York's comeback got him a no-decision. In four starts against Baltimore this season, the lefty has a 7.79 ERA. He has given up 13 homers in 10 starts.ROAD TRIPMechanical issues with the Yankees' plane to Baltimore following a home weekend series against Tampa Bay forced the club to call an audible, with most of the team making the trip down the I-95 corridor Sunday by bus.''Myself and a few coaches ended up taking a train down,'' Boone said. ''I think the bus ride was another one of those of those bonding experiences that guys have as players.'' TRAINER'S ROOMYankees: SS Didi Gregorius played five innings at extended spring training in his first game action since Tommy John surgery on Oct. 17. . 3B Miguel Andujar underwent season-ending surgery to repair a right labrum tear. ... RHP Dellin Betances (right shoulder) continued his throwing program Monday, extending his throwing to 105 feet from flat ground. . OF Giancarlo Stanton (left shoulder) began his rehab assignment by hitting a solo home run for Class A Tampa on Monday night, his first game action since March 31. . SS Troy Tulowitzki (left calf), sidelined since April 3, resumed on-field batting practice Monday and continued taking grounders at shortstop and third base. . Boone said there is will be no timetable for RF Aaron Judge's return (left oblique) until he begins swinging a bat. So far he's only been running and playing catch.Orioles: RHP Nate Karns (right forearm strain) was moved to the 60-day IL to make room on the 40-man roster for RHP Josh Lucas, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk. This is Lucas' second stint this season with Baltimore.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Domingo German (8-1, 2.50 ERA) seeks to win his sixth consecutive start on Tuesday night in the second game of the series.

Yankees on roll heading into series with Orioles The New York Yankees are headed to Baltimore after a big win on Sunday over the Tampa Bay Rays, thanks mostly to a seven-run sixth inning. New York will play a series against the Orioles for the second time in as many weeks, with Monday night the first of a four-game set.Baltimore and the Yankees were supposed to play a three-game series in New York last Monday through Wednesday but the first two games were rained out. So they played a doubleheader on May 15, which the Yankees swept. The other game is going to be made up on Aug. 12.The Yankees have been on a roll lately and Sunday's 13-5 victory over the Rays completed their second series win over Tampa Bay in the last two weekends. New York took two out of three last weekend in Florida and did it this weekend in New York.The big hit in the seven-run inning came when pinch hitter Thairo Estrada, batting for Gio Urshela, lined a three-run double for an 11-5 lead. Urshela had been hit in the groin when fouling off a pitch earlier, and manager Aaron Boone told the media he was having some trouble running.But people just keep stepping up for the Yankees when players go down, something that's happened a lot in this injury-filled season.Aaron Hicks hit his first homer of the season and loved what he saw from his team."It just proves the fight that our team has," Hicks told MLB.com. "We really are doing 'next man up,' and guys are performing and doing what they need to do to help this team win." For New York, J. A. Happ will start Monday. He's 3-3 with a 4.44 ERA overall in 2019 but has given up nine runs in 13 2/3 innings in three starts this season versus Baltimore and is 1-1 versus the Orioles this year.In his career, Happ is 8-7 with a 3.29 record in 23 games, 22 of which were starts.Andrew Cashner starts for the Orioles and has a 4-2 record along with a 4.10 ERA. This will be his third start versus New York this season. Last week, he gave up two runs on four hits and took the loss in one of the doubleheader games.For his career, Cashner is 2-5 with a 3.90 ERA in nine game against the Yankees, all starts.Baltimore is coming off a road trip where it dropped four of five games. The Orioles lost that New York doubleheader and then Cleveland took two of three from them, capped by a 10-0 rout on Sunday afternoon.The Orioles struck out 15 times and got just five hits as Cleveland starter Shane Bieber went the distance. Baltimore got just one hit the day before -- a Trey Mancini homer -- so the Orioles finished the final two games with just one run."This game was lopsided from early on," Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told The Baltimore Sun. "I thought we were in yesterday (a 4-1 loss). We won the day before, swung the bat good the first day. Today, we just got beat." Starter Yefry Ramirez lasted just 3 1/3 innings and was optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk after the game.--Field Level Media
