The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6–2 on May 12 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, with the visitors' offense capitalizing on a modest pitching performance from the home team. New York's lineup produced nine hits and two home runs while driving in six runs, posting an OPS of .773 compared to Baltimore's anemic .691, which reflected the Orioles' struggles at the plate with only six hits and a .229 batting average. Yankees pitcher held Baltimore to just six hits and two earned runs across the contest with an ERA of 3.12, while striking out eight batters against just one walk—a stark contrast to the Orioles' starter, who allowed nine hits and six earned runs with a 4.71 ERA and issued six walks. Baltimore's offensive futility, combined with one defensive error, left them well short of the Vegas total of 2 runs, suggesting the Orioles' lineup remains inconsistent despite the home-field advantage. The Yankees' pitching depth and power advantage should position them favorably in the division race if they can maintain this level of run prevention.
