The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 9–4 on May 2 at Yankee Stadium, exploiting a significant pitching gap to secure a dominant home victory. The Yankees' offense generated 11 hits and three home runs while driving in seven runs, posting a .771 OPS despite striking out eight times. Baltimore managed only four hits and one homer, with their hitters fanning eight times as well, resulting in a .708 OPS that underscored their offensive struggles. The pitching disparity proved decisive: New York's starter allowed just four hits and two earned runs over his outing with a 3.01 ERA, while Baltimore's pitcher surrendered 11 hits and nine earned runs with a 4.46 ERA. The Orioles' bullpen compounded the damage by issuing seven walks compared to the Yankees' five, a control issue that extended scoring opportunities. The Yankees' three-run home-run advantage and superior run prevention established a commanding margin that Baltimore could not overcome despite scoring four runs themselves. This win strengthens New York's division positioning while Baltimore faces continued offensive inconsistency heading into their next series.
