The Duo Of Brett Gardner, Matt Holliday Power New York Past Baltimore

On Memorial day New York scored two runs in all when they opened their three-game series with Baltimore.

When they played game two on Tuesday New York had no problem scoring runs as both left fielder Brett Gardner along with designated hitter Matt Holiday homered twice. Meanwhile, rookie sensation and right fielder Aaron Judge drove in a pair of runs as they rebounded from their 3-2 loss Monday.

The American League East- leaders  New York entered the day second in the AL in runs but had averaged just 3.36 per game since May 18. They raised that number against O's starter Chris Tillman, with Gardner hitting a leadoff blast and Holliday clearing the fences one out later.

Brett Gardner had this to say about the game. 

"I think you can ask all our pitchers, they want an early lead they can work with," Gardner said. "Offensively, we got off to such a great start early in the season, and the last week or two we've slowed down a little bit collectively. It's nice to put some runs back up, put some crooked numbers on the board and give Sevvy a lead he's comfortable with."

New York added a run in the second before Holliday belted his second homer of the night off Tillman to help chase the Baltimore righty in the third. "according to http://m.mlb.com/news/article/233406770/yankees-ride-gardner-holliday-homers-in-win/

Brett Gardner said that he thought Chris Tillman looked "a little different" than he did before a right shoulder injury forced him to begin the year on the disabled list, but Tillman downplayed that. "according to http://m.mlb.com/news/article/233406770/yankees-ride-gardner-holliday-homers-in-win/

Baltimore's Chris Tillman went a season-low 2 2/3 innings and was charged with a season-high five earned runs before being replaced by reliever Logan Verrett. Gardner took Verrett deep as part of a three-run fifth, marking his third multi-homer game of the year.

The American League East leader New York improved to 30-19 while Baltimore dropped to 26-24 on the season. 

New York and Baltimore will finish up their three -game series tonight at Oriole Park at Camden Yards with New York right -hander Masahiro Tanaka getting the start for New York. He has a record of 5-4 with a 5.86 earn run average and is coming off a loss to Oakland but despite the loss, he returned to form after allowing fourteen earned runs in 4/2/3 innings in his last two starts. Masahiro Tanaka pitched 7/1/3 innings of one -run ball while he struck out thirteen. He will go up against Baltimore right -hander Kevin Gausman who has a record of 2-4 with a 6.17 earn run average. Kevin Gausman tossed his second consecutive quality start against Houston. This was the first time this season he has done so. In 6/2/3 innings he has allowed just two runs but both of them were homers. "according to   https://www.mlb.com/gameday/yankees-vs-orioles/2017/05/31/490899#game_state=preview,game_tab=,game=490899
