Final: Yankees 2, Orioles 0.

Luis Gil shoved for 6 1/3 innings, Oswaldo Cabrera snuck a two-run homer inside the foul pole and Clay Holmes recorded a five-out save.

Holmes strikes out Henderson and Rutschmann on seven pitches to strand both runners. Not a bad start.

Looks like Aaron Boone might ask Clay Holmes for a five-out save. At the very least, he is coming in with two on and one out in the eighth inning of a 2-0 game to face the top of the Orioles lineup.

Best start of Luis Gil's career: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.
Outdueled Corbin Burnes and quieted the Orioles, one of the game's best offenses.

Gil is starting the seventh inning for the first time in his career. He's at 88 pitches

Luis Gil has completed six innings for the first time this season. Just two singles allowed.

And now he gets caught stealing third with one out.

Juan Soto has a pair of steals tonight, doubling his season total.

The home run stands. Cabrera now tied for second again on the team in RBIs (18).

Oswaldo Cabrera shoots one right down the RF line for a two-run home run off Burnes in the fifth -- for now. Orioles are asking for a review.

Luis Gil and Corbin Burnes are locked into an early pitchers' duel through four innings. Gil has struck out four and faced one over the minimum. Burnes has struck out five and faced two over the minimum.

Gerrit Cole had a “pretty heavy day” of flat-ground throwing yesterday that went well, per Boone. But still no date for getting on a mound.

Asked if the All-Star break was a more likely projection for when Cole might return, Boone said, “I wouldn’t even want to guess on that.”

Jon Berti (groin) will not play a rehab game tonight because his back locked up on him, per Boone. But they’re hoping to get him back in tomorrow.

The Orioles' Gunnar Henderson is off to a blazing start after ROY. The Yankees' Anthony Volpe is looking poised to take a big leap this season after 20/20, Gold Glove.

Juan Soto on his staredown of Dean Kremer after his long HR: 'It's part of the game. We were going back and forth. He didn't like the shuffle. I bet he didn't like the homer too.'

Soto's homer landed on Eutaw Street, the Orioles say. First one to land there this year, 123rd all-time.

Juan Soto, way gone, for his eighth home run of the season. Trims the deficit to 4-2 in the sixth.

Estimated distance: 447 ft.

A pair of doubles off Nestor Cortes, then three straight singles, have put the Orioles up 4-1 in a hurry.
