The New York Yankees didn’t fall victim to a comeback hangover from Friday night and defeated the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 12-4 on a sunny afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
Brett Gardner, who entered play on Saturday batting .118 since April 12, got the party started for the Bombers by slapping his seventh career leadoff home run to right field off O’s starter Ubaldo Jimenez. The next inning, the longest-tenured Yankee smoked yet another home run, this time a three-run jack for his third career multi-home run game to make it 5-0, New York.
