The Yankees improved their record to 30-13 on the season after the walk-off victory against division rival Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees are the first team to reach 30 wins this season and are playing like the best team in all of baseball.

Jordan Montgomery started the game for the Yankees. He went six innings and allowed just two earned runs. Reliver Michael King pitched just two-thirds of an inning but allowed three earned runs. It appeared the Orioles were going to win easily, being up by a score of 5 to 3 in the seventh inning.

The Yankees answered back with two more runs of their own in the seventh inning to tie the game back up and force extra innings. The two teams would go scoreless in the 10th inning before the Orioles scratched across a run in the top of the 11th inning to go up 6-5.

The Yankees tied the game back up in the bottom of the 11th inning after a base hit by shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa that scored Gleyber Torres.
