Baltimore comes into the finale with a record of 42-92 and is last in the American League East 42.5 games back of Tampa Bay though they topped New York yesterday by a score of 4-3 in Bronx New York and evened up the series!

In the game Chris Ellis pitched five innings  without allowing a hit, and though the O’s bullpen stumbled late, Pedro Severino delivered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth off Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman to help Baltimore claim a 4-3 victory.

Baltimore’s bullpen carried the combined no-hit bid into the seventh inning, but that’s when it came apart. Marcos Diplán gave up an RBI single to Gleyber Torres that went in and out of the glove of second baseman Jahmai Jones. And though Diplán recovered quickly, coaxing a double play out of Luke Voit to minimize the damage, his replacement didn’t fare as well.
