Hours after the Baltimore Orioles called up Colton Cowser, manager Brandon Hyde said he was hoping the touted prospect could give his scuffling team a spark.

That's exactly what he did.

Cowser hit an RBI single in his major league debut and scored the go-ahead run when fellow rookie Jordan Westburg followed with a two-run triple, sending Dean Kremer and the Orioles past the New York Yankees 6-3 on Wednesday night.

"What a nice debut. Huge hit for us, first walk," Hyde said. "He played a really good game."

Ryan O’Hearn lined a two-run homer in the ninth inning, and All-Star relievers Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista combined to get the final six outs as the second-place Orioles won for only the second time in eight games.

"It was awesome. A cool ballpark, kind of soaked it in and once I did that, I took a moment and then was like, `All right, let’s go,'" said Cowser, whose parents were in the stands. "Honestly, I was more nervous the wait before the game. Once I got through my daily schedule, I was like, same game, just go out and play."

Josh Donaldson and Anthony Volpe homered for the Yankees, who had won the first two games of this four-game series between AL East playoff contenders. Kyle Higashioka had an RBI single.
