Aaron Boone Post-game INTERVIEW New York Yankees rips Orioles, Tight battle with O’s tips in Yanks favor
Not exactly by design, this Yankees team has had ample experience playing tightly contested games. No American League club has played in more games decided by two runs or fewer this season than their 76, and depending on your viewpoint, that could be a blessing or a curse as New York eyes the postseason.
After scuffling for nine innings against the league’s weakest pitching staff and seeing Wandy Peralta surrender a tiebreaking hit, DJ LeMahieu stroked a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning and Giancarlo Stanton delivered the game-winning RBI single in the 11th, lifting the Bombers to a 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium. Stanton’s single had a 121.1 mph exit velocity, making it the hardest-hit batted ball for a walk-off tracked by Statcast (since 2015).
Until extra innings, the Bombers were limited to a pair of runs, both coming against starter John Means. Stanton connected in the fourth inning for a solo home run, his 26th long ball of the year, and LeMahieu lifted a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Stanton has four homers and 14 RBIs in 11 games against the Orioles this season.
