The Yankees plated a run in the top of the 9th to break a 2-2 tie. Carlos Beltran led off the frame with a double to center field on a line shot into the gap. After Teixeira flied out to left, the manager pinch hit for Chris Young for Brett Gardner. Gardner was able to advance the runner to third on a ground out to first. The manager pinch hit again removing Austin Romine in favor of Brian McCann. McCann delivered with a single to right that plated the game winner.

Michael Pineda (1-0) pitched 6 1/3 strong innings, scattering 6 hits and 2 runs. Jared Burton & Andrew Miller pitched 2 2/3 innings without allowing a base runner and striking out 5 of the 8 batters they faced.

With the win, the Yankees move to 6-2, 2 games ahead of the Orioles, Blue Jays and Rays. The Orioles drop to 4-4.
