After a pair of brutal losses upon their arrival this weekend in New York, the Orioles made it look easy in getting back on track and avoiding a series sweep with Sunday’s 5-0 win over the Yankees.
Steve Pearce, batting leadoff for the first time in his career, drove in three runs on three hits, including one to break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, and Kevin Gausman posted his second straight scoreless start with seven shutout innings before an announced 38,002 at Yankee Stadium.
Pearce has been dealing with an elbow injury for the past three weeks, and left the game after the seventh inning.
