The Baltimore Orioles pulled off an improbable win over the New York Yankees on Sunday, capitalizing on their opponents’ ninth-inning mistakes to score three runs.

Baltimore entered the final half-inning down 5-3 as the Yankees went up with a three-run inning of their own.

Yankees reliever Clay Holmes came into the game to close the door. Orioles outfielder Kyle Stowers started the inning with a single, then Colton Cowser grounded into a fielder’s choice, leading to a Stowers force-out at second base.

Baltimore first baseman Ryan O’Hearn walked to put two runners on base, but they went down to their final out as Gunner Henderson struck out looking. Adley Rutschman walked to load the bases, and that’s when chaos happened.

Ryan Mountcastle hit a grounder to Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, who bobbled the ball and allowed a run to score. Cedric Mullins then hit a shot toward left fielder Alex Verdugo, who misjudged the play. The ball went over Verdugo’s head, and he fell trying to get to it as two runs came around to score.

The Orioles won the game, 6-5.

Volpe was the Yankees’ lone error of the game and his 10th of the season, and it proved to be the most costly as the game could have ended if he fielded it cleanly.
