Yankees beat Orioles for 19th straight time

-

BALTIMORE — Miguel Andujar singled in the tiebreakin­g run in the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees ran their winning streak against the Baltimore Orioles to 19 games with a 6-5 victory Friday in the opener of a doublehead­er.

Gary Sanchez homered and Brett Gardner drove in two runs for the Yankees, who have won 18 in a row at Camden Yards — tied for the secondlong­est road streak in major league history by one team against another. The record is 19, by Brooklyn at Cincinnati from 1947-49.

Recalled from New York’s alternate site before the game, Andujar entered as a pinch runner in the seventh and stayed in the game at third base. His single to right against Travis Lakins Sr. (2-2) made it 5-4, and Clint Frazier followed with an RBI single.

Jonathan Holder (2-0) worked the eighth and Chad Green got three outs for his first save. Holder ran for himself after New York burned the designated hitter and scored on Andujar’s single.

BLUE JAYS 8-2, RED SOX 7-3

BOSTON — Yairo Munoz had three hits and Boston salvaged a spit of their doublehead­er as the “road” team at Fenway Park to end a five-game losing streak.

Munoz went 6 for 7 in the twinbill with a two-run homer, two doubles and three RBIs.

Toronto was the “home” team in the second game, which was the makeup of the Aug. 27 game in Buffalo, New York, that was postponed when the teams didn’t play in protest over the shooting by police of Jacob Blake.

In the opner, Danny Jansen hit a two-run homer, Travis Shaw had a solo shot and the Blue Jays held off the Sox.

Munoz went 3 for 3 with a two-run homer and an RBI double. A.J. Cole (2-0) pitched an inning of scoreless relief and Anthony Bass got three outs for his fifth save. Zack Godley (0-4) was the loser.

PHILLIES 5, METS 3

NEW YORK — Jake Arrieta bounced back from the shortest start of his career by pitching seven solid innings to lead the Philadelph­ia Phillies over the New York Mets 5-3 on Friday for their fifth straight win.

Roman Quinn snapped a tie with a two-out, RBI single in the seventh.
