After Cedric Mullins walked and Mountcastle struck out, Hays grounded a single to left over a drawn-in infield to win it. Mountcastle’s drive, a leadoff shot in the sixth, was his 29th of the year to set an Orioles rookie record. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Orioles transferred RHP Jorge López (ankle sprain) to the 60-day injured list. Orioles: LHP Keegan Akin (2-9, 6.83) draws the start as Baltimore visits Boston to begin a six-game road trip.

Yankees reliever Clay Holmes threw a wild pitch with two outs in the ninth inning that let the tying run score, then Austin Hays chopped an RBI single in the 10th that lifted the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 win and dropped New York back in the AL wild-card race.

Ryan Mountcastle struck out against Chapman (5-4) leading off but reached via wild pitch. His 31st homer scored DJ LeMahieu, who led off the inning with New York's second hit, a 58 mph tapper that hugged the third-base line. New York hit six balls over 96 mph in the first four innings, including two by Aaron Judge. The right-hander struck out Urías to end the fifth, then struck out the side in the sixth.

Aroldis Chapman gave up Pedro Severino’s tiebreaking sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees lost to Baltimore 4-3 after the last-place Orioles took a no-hitter into the seventh.

With runners at first and third, Torres rolled a ball to the left of second base against Marcos Diplan. Jones tried to backhand the ball but couldn't control it, allowing Anthony Rizzo to score from third. It also would have been the second this season for the last-place Orioles after John Means threw the franchise’s first since 1991 on May 5 against Seattle. He was sharper in his second start, pitching one-run ball over 4 2/3 innings against Toronto with a career-most 69 pitches.

(AP Photo/Adam Hunger) (Adam Hunger)NEW YORK — (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles are nine outs away from finishing a record ninth no-hitter in the majors this season in a game at Yankee Stadium. Rookie right-hander Chris Ellis held New York without a hit over five innings Saturday in his third major league start and was pulled after throwing a career-high 92 pitches. A ninth no-hitter would break the record set in 1884, the first season overhand pitching was permitted. He was sharper in his second start, pitching one-run ball over 4 2/3 innings against Toronto with a career-most 69 pitches.

The Baltimore Orioles are nine outs away from finishing a record ninth no-hitter in the majors this season in a game at Yankee Stadium.

The Baltimore Orioles have snapped their 19-game losing streak, rallying to beat Los Angeles 10-6 after a shaky start by Shohei Ohtani left the Angels’ bullpen with too much to do.
