Yanks lose battle with wind, O's to begin final series before Red Sox clash

The Yankees dropped the opening matchup of a single-admission twin bill with a 10-2 defeat to the Orioles at Yankee Stadium, impacted heavily by gusting winds. Rookie starter Brendan Beck surrendered seven runs over five innings to take the loss, while Dylan Beavers contributed a grand slam and Pete Alonso launched two home runs to claim the American League lead with 43.

Jeremiah Jackson recorded an inside-the-park home run that sailed over center fielder Spencer Jones. Looking ahead to a series against the Red Sox, manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence in his squad's ability to bounce back.

The contest also featured Trevor Rogers pitching four frames, Amed Rosario driving in a run with a single, Paul Goldschmidt hitting a sacrifice fly, and Anthony Volpe making his first major league appearance at third base.
