Yankees Blank Orioles, Schmidt Shines in One-Hitter

The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 9-0, with Clarke Schmidt pitching seven no-hit innings before being removed after a career-high 103 pitches, a decision made by manager Aaron Boone to safeguard Schmidt's health. Reliever JT Brubaker, in his first MLB appearance since 2022, surrendered a leadoff single to former Yankee Gary Sánchez in the eighth, ending the combined no-hit bid. The Yankees' offense broke out for 14 hits, featuring solo home runs by Trent Grisham, J.C. Escarra, Ben Rice, and Anthony Volpe, who ended a 0-for-25 slump. Schmidt extended his scoreless streak to 25 1/3 innings. The Orioles, missing several key players due to injury, managed just one hit in the loss. The victory helps the Yankees maintain a slim lead in the AL East as they look to regain momentum.
