Chisholm rallies Yankees to 4-2 win as New York takes 2 of 3 from Orioles

NEW YORK (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run double off the right-center field wall in a three-run eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday.

New York won its second straight after losing seven of its previous eight games.

A day after the Orioles were held hitless for seven innings by Clarke Schmidt, Jackson Holliday singled on Will Warren’s first pitch, setting up a two-run first that included Ryan O’Hearn’s run-scoring single and Colton Cowser’s RBI double.

Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left after being knocked over in the second during a collision at the plate with Chisholm, who scored as his shoes came off on DJ LeMahieu’s single against Dean Kremer.

Ben Rice singled off Bryan Baker (3-2) leading off the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton’s single put runners at the corners. Chisholm doubled and is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from the injured list, raising his average to .242.

New York boosted the lead when Gary Sánchez dropped shortstop Gunnar Henderson’s throw on LeMahieu’s grounder, allowing Chisholm to slide across the plate.

Fernando Cruz (2-3) entered with two on in the eighth and struck out the side, giving him 50 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Devin Williams pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances.

In a game that started at 11:39 a.m. to fulfill a Major League Baseball national television contract, Warren gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
