D.J. Stewart picked a perfect time for his first hit. And the Baltimore Orioles knew just how to take it from there.
Stewart broke through for two home runs, the Orioles broke a scoreless tie with five runs in the sixth inning, Keegan Akin led a great team effort on the mound and Baltimore beat the New York Yankees, 6-1.
After losing 19 straight to their division rivals, the Orioles have now won two straight, and can make it three and take the series on Sunday.
Their path to Saturday’s victory wasn’t as smooth as the final score might suggest.
