Orioles manager Brandon Hyde had visions of his team being aggressive on the bases, not because of the roster of runners assembled but because that might be the easiest way for his team to consistently score without the power of years past.
That philosophy began to manifest itself in a unique way — with an extra base taken by plodding catcher Jesús Sucre — in the sixth inning that put the Orioles ahead for the first time this season. That propelled them to a tense 5-3 win over the New York Yankees before 42,203 fans at Yankee Stadium.
