The Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 3–2 on May 11 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a low-scoring affair marked by offensive struggles on both sides. Baltimore managed just three hits but capitalized on their one home run to drive in all three runs, while the Yankees recorded five hits with a .771 OPS yet could only muster two runs despite striking out just nine times. The Orioles' pitching staff struck out nine and allowed only five hits, though their ERA of 4.68 reflected some inefficiency, while New York's pitchers were sharper with an ERA of 3.15 and 11 strikeouts across 5.1 innings. Both teams drew three walks and neither committed errors, but Baltimore's ability to convert limited opportunities—particularly the solo home run—proved decisive in the tight contest. The Yankees' superior slugging percentage of .440 and on-base plus slugging of .771 went largely unrewarded, suggesting offensive execution rather than raw talent was the differentiator. This loss drops New York further behind in the AL East as Baltimore's pitching depth continues to frustrate opposing lineups.
