The game turned on one swing in the seventh inning. Coby Mayo launched a three-run homer to left field, erasing a two-run deficit and lifting Baltimore to a 3-2 victory over New York at Camden Yards.
Mayo went 1-for-2 with three RBIs and a walk, his fourth home run of the season raising his RBI total to 15. The blast capped a dramatic turnaround for Baltimore, which managed just three hits but made them count when it mattered.
Mayo's homer scored Rutschman and O'Neill, who had reached base ahead of the decisive swing. The 389-foot drive to left field marked the only scoring for Baltimore after New York had taken control early.
Ryan Weathers dominated for the Yankees through 6.1 innings, allowing just one hit while striking out nine and walking three. He carried a 3.00 ERA into the game and held Baltimore scoreless until departing with two runs charged to his line. Ben Rice had staked New York to a 2-0 lead in the third inning with a two-run homer to left center, scoring Grisham on the 374-foot blast. Rice finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs, his 13th home run of the season.
Dietrich Enns earned the win with 1.2 scoreless innings in relief, improving to 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA. Anthony Nunez recorded his second save with a perfect ninth inning. Baltimore improved to 18-23 and snapped a losing streak, while New York fell to 26-15 and extended its losing streak to three games.
