After being shut out through the first five innings of play, Baltimore scored eight runs from the sixth to the eighth inning. Anthony Santander and Austin Hays both homered to set the tone for the lineup.

New York Yankees Betting Analysis
The Yankees have won four straight, and their lineup is heating up.
Anthony Rizzo set the pace with three home runs in the ballgame. The first baseman has a league-leading eight bombs to open the season and is quickly making Yankees fans forget about Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman.
Aaron Judge and Joey Gallo homered as well. For Gallo, it was his first homer of the year in what has been an otherwise miserable season. Perhaps the home run will get his bat trending in the right direction.
Luis Severino surrendered four runs over six innings pitched. The right-hander was solid through the first five innings but ran into trouble in the sixth. Nonetheless, the start was encouraging overall.
New York’s bullpen coughed up four runs against the lowly Orioles, but their lineup carried them to the win.
The Yankees will try to extend their winning streak to five on Wednesday.
