The Yankees gave Rodon a lead in the third. Anthony Volpe, in a 9-for-52 slump, yanked a double over the third base bag. Juan Soto struck out looking and Judge flied to left. Rizzo sliced a single to left to score Volpe -- aided by an abysmal throw home by Cowser, the leftfielder.

Ryan Mountcastle and Jorge Mateo each homered and drove in two runs to lift Baltimore to a series-deciding victory over the Yankees.
