Kremer pitches Orioles past Yankees for 4-2 victory that opens 1-game AL East lead

Dean Kremer pitched seven innings of two-run ball, Adley Rutschman extended his hitting streak to a career-best 11 games and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 4-2 on Tuesday night. Baltimore won the first two games of a four-game series between the AL East's top teams and opened a one-game AL East lead, the largest this season for the defending division champion. Juan Soto hit a 447-foot homer and Austin Wells also had a solo drive for the Yankees, who have lost four of six and scored just two runs in the series. Kremer (2-2) matched his longest outing this season, allowing four hits and striking out four.
