Jesus Sucre scored the go-ahead run to help Brandon Hyde earn his first win as the Orioles manager.
Baltimore used reliever Nate Karns as an opener in his first major league appearance since May 2017, and the 31-year-old right-hander got into a bases-loaded, one-out jam. But Miguel Andujar hit into a 1-2-3 double play, and Karns pitched a scoreless second.
Baltimore rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the sixth against James Paxton when Sucre tagged and went to third on Jonathan Villar’s fly to centre, just beating Brett Gardner’s throw, then scored on Dwight Smith’s single. Catcher Gary Sanchez’s wild throw on a double steal, the second of three New York errors, allowed the go-ahead run to score. Sucre added an RBI single in the seventh off Chad Green and a two-run double in the ninth against Jonathan Holder for a three-hit day.
Hyde, a Chicago Cubs coach for the past five seasons, was hired in December to fill the last manager opening in the major leagues. Now 45, he never made it higher than Triple-A as a player. He was hired by new general manager Mike Elias, who took over after a 115-loss season, and Hyde opened with a 7-2 defeat to the Yankees on opening day.
Giancarlo Stanton struck out on a full-count slider, and Luke Voit popped a run-scoring single off the glove of onrushing, stretching right fielder Joey Rickard. Wright struck out Andujar for his first pro save in nine seasons.Paxton, a 30-year-old left-hander acquired from Seattle on Nov. 18, became just the eighth Canadian-born player for Yankees. He dominated with one-hit ball through five innings, working quickly and switching speeds.
