BALTIMORE — Down by four runs, the Baltimore Orioles made up the deficit by employing their most effective weapon: the home run.
Manny Machado hit a three-run shot, leadoff hitter Seth Smith got into the act with a two-run drive and the Orioles rallied to beat the New York Yankees 6-5 Friday night.
Temperature at game time was 45 degrees, and a stiff wind made for a very chilly night at Camden Yards.
Perhaps that's why it took Baltimore's big bats a while to heat up.
Stymied by 23-year-old Luis Severino for four innings, the Orioles began to stir in the fifth.
