Orioles' comeback sinks Yankees
BALTIMORE -- Hyun Soo Kim picked up another three hits, including a key single in the seventh inning that helped the Baltimore Orioles rally past the New York Yankees 6-5 on Friday night.
Orioles slugger Chris Davis hit his 11th home run of the season and first since May 20 -- a towering shot onto the flag court behind right field.
Adam Jones led off the seventh with a single against New York reliever Dellin Betances (2-3) and moved to third when Kim lined a ball into the middle of the outfield. Manny Machado then gave the Orioles the go-ahead run with a fielder's choice.
Orioles reliever Mychal Givens (5-0) picked up the win by throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Closer Zach Britton posted his 16th save of the season.
Carlos Beltran, Alex Rodriguez and Austin Romine homered for the Yankees, who have lost four of their past five games.
The Orioles' Chris Tillman fell short of tying a career-high seventh straight win.
A RBI single by Chase Headley gave the Yankees a 5-2 lead and ended Tillman's night with two outs in the sixth. The right-hander allowed five runs and eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
Tillman held opponents to one home run in his first eight starts but has given up eight in his past four outings.
A two-run by double by Matt Wieters off Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi cut the margin to 5-4 in the seventh. Kirby Yates entered and allowed a game-tying double to Jonathan Schoop.
The tying run ended Eovaldi's career-high streak of wins in five consecutive starts. He allowed five runs and eight hits with five strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.
The Orioles took a 1-0 lead in the second when Mark Trumbo led off with a double and scored on a single by Pedro Alvarez.
Rob Refsnyder, who had two hits and an RBI on Thursday against Detroit, took over first base for the Yankees in the third when Mark Teixeira had to leave the game because of discomfort in his right knee.
New York took a 3-1 lead an inning later when Brett Gardner drew a walk, setting the table for the back-to-back home runs by Beltran and Rodriguez off Tillman.
Gardner snapped an 0-for-24 skid with a single in his first at-bat.
Davis pulled the Orioles to within 3-2 with his 100th career home run at Camden Yards -- third all time behind Rafael Palmeiro (124) and Adam Jones (110).
Romine, however, answered for Yankees when he led off the fifth with a home run to left.
NOTES: Orioles RHP Darren O'Day (right hamstring strain) was placed on the 15-day disabled list. In a corresponding move, RHP Mike Wright was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. O'Day, who is the primary setup man, is 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA, two saves and 25 strikeouts in 22 games this season. ... Yankees C Brian McCann was out of the starting lineup for the second straight game after hyperextending his left elbow earlier in the week against Toronto. "He's day to day," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. ... Baltimore RHP Yovani Gallardo (right shoulder biceps tendinitis) did not have any setbacks in his first rehab start at Class A Frederick on Thursday. He will next throw 75 to 80 pitches in five-plus innings for Triple-A Norfolk on June 7.
