Santander hoses Urshela for last out, O's beat Yanks in 11

NEW YORK (AP) — Orioles right fielder Anthony Santander threw out Gio Urshela trying to score on a fly ball in the 11th, moments after pinch-hitter Chance Sisco's go-ahead single in the top of the inning, and Baltimore beat the New York Yankees 4-3 Wednesday night.

Brett Gardner bunted Urshela, the automatic runner, to third to open the inning. DJ LeMahieu then ripped a liner to right. Santander set his feet, caught it and delivered a perfect throw home, a couple steps ahead of Urshela, who slid face first into catcher Pedro Severino's tag.

It was the second laser home from Santander in the game, but he'd come up just short trying to get Tyler Wade in the 10th. Santander also homered in the fifth.

Sisco’s one-out hit off Chad Green (0-1) scored Rio Ruiz from third following a sacrifice bunt by Freddy Galvis. It was Baltimore’s first hit since the fifth inning and its fourth total — New York had 13, but only three with runners in scoring position.

César Valdez (1-0), working primarily with a 76 mph changeup, pitched 2 1/3 innings and got Baltimore through the 10th. Paul Fry got his first save, ending a 3-hour, 54-minute night.

Prior to Sisco's hit, New York relievers pitched six perfect innings — except for shortstop Gleyber Torres' costly throwing error — following a sharp pinstripe debut for Jameson Taillon, who started for the first time in 707 days.

Both teams scored in the 10th. Torres bounced a ball to first base with two outs, a throwing error that let the automatic runner score. His throw skipped past first baseman Jay Bruce on a grounder by the slow-footed Severino, allowing Anthony Santander to score from third. Torres has two errors this season after tying for the AL lead among shortstops with nine last year.
