Yankees fall to Orioles, extend AL East deficit to three games with eight left.

The New York Yankees, three games behind the Toronto Blue Jays with eight games left, face the Baltimore Orioles in a crucial matchup. After a 4-2 loss, the Yankees managed just four hits, extending their deficit. Jazz Chisholm Jr. made history with a 30-30 season, the first Yankees player to do so since 2017. The Orioles, winners of four of their last five, leaned on strong defense, including rookie Dylan Beavers' key catches. Carlos Rodon (16-9, 3.11 ERA) starts for the Yankees, seeking to end a two-game slide, while Tomoyuki Sugano (10-8, 4.39 ERA) takes the mound for Baltimore, having recently held Toronto to one run. The Orioles also placed reliever Chayce McDermott on the bereavement list and recalled pitcher Jose Espada from Triple-A Norfolk.
