Orioles 1, Yankees 0 (10 innings)
BALTIMORE -- Pedro Alvarez's 10th-inning sacrifice fly gave the Baltimore Orioles a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night.
The Orioles had not scored a run in the previous 21 innings -- last getting a run across during the fifth inning of a 4-1 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday -- before producing in the 10th.
Hyun Soo Kim started the winning rally for Baltimore with a leadoff infield single against Johnny Barbato (1-2). Kim went to third when Jonathan Schoop followed with a single to left-center.
Nolan Reimold then came on to pinch-run for Kim, and the Yankees brought in closer Andrew Miller.
Alvarez greeted Miller with a fly ball to medium-deep center. Jacoby Ellsbury made the catch, but his throw home was off line, and Reimold easily scored for the walk-off win.
Baltimore closer Zach Britton (2-1), making his first appearance since jamming his left ankle last Saturday against the White Sox, got the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.
Starting pitchers Kevin Gausman of Baltimore and Masahiro Tanaka of New York dominated much of this game.
Gausman gave the Orioles eight shutout innings. He allowed only three hits and struck out four without a walk, mixing all of his pitches effectively throughout.
Tanaka matched Gausman, also throwing eight shutout innings. He scattered five hits while striking out seven with only one walk.
The Yankees (9-17) had the best early threat as Starlin Castro led off the fourth with a double and went to third on Brian McCann's fly ball. But they came up empty, and manager Joe Girardi was thrown out at the end of the inning, his first ejection this season.
Baltimore (16-11) twice put runners on first and second early but couldn't convert either in the third or fourth innings, and the game stayed scoreless.
NOTES: Orioles SS Manny Machado went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees. That was his 13th multi-hit game this year -- the most in the American League and tied for first place in the majors. He finished 0-for-4 Wednesday. ... IF/OF Jimmy Paredes continues his rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie. Manager Buck Showalter is hoping that Paredes' offensive production can improve -- he had a .192 average through Wednesday -- and the rehab could go until May 15. ... LF Brett Gardner was held out of New York's starting lineup after getting hit on the right arm in Wednesday's game and then coming out. His arm is sore, but Gardner's X-rays were negative. ... The Yankees made another move before the game, calling up OF Ben Gamel from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and sending LHP James Pazos back. Pazos had been called up Wednesday after Rodriguez was placed on the disabled list. Girardi said the Yankees could have been down to two on the bench if Gardner could not swing well, and they did not want that.
