Orioles, Yankees split Friday doubleheader after Saturday game was moved

Baltimore and New York split their rain-rescheduled Friday doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles won the opener 10-2 behind a Dylan Beavers grand slam and two Pete Alonso home runs. The Yankees answered 6-3 in the nightcap, with Anthony Volpe's two-run double helping them take control. MLB's Game 1 feed and Game 2 feed record both finals.

The clubs played twice Friday because the Yankees moved Saturday's scheduled game forward amid a forecast of sustained bad weather. The change turned the final weekend into one long day at the park. Each side left it with a win, and Sunday's game remained on the schedule in the team's announcement.

Baltimore broke open Game 1 in the fourth inning. Already ahead 2-0 after Alonso's two-run homer in the third, the Orioles scored five in the fourth. Christian Franklin singled home Coby Mayo, then Beavers drove a grand slam to right-center. Alonso added a solo homer in the seventh and finished with three hits and three RBIs. Beavers drove in four. MLB's official Game 1 video captures the two headline swings. Albert Suárez was credited with the win after four scoreless relief innings.

Game 2 stayed scoreless until Ryan McMahon doubled home Austin Wells in the fifth. New York added three in the sixth: Spencer Jones brought in Heliot Ramos, and Volpe's ground-rule double scored Luis García Jr. and Jones. The Yankees scored twice more in the seventh to make it 6-1. Baltimore got one run in the seventh and two in the ninth, including a Beavers homer, but could not complete a comeback. MLB's Game 2 video covers New York's response. Will Warren earned the second-game win with 3⅔ scoreless relief innings.

The split kept both results in one story: Baltimore's first-game power display and New York's pitching-and-doubles response were separate games played on a single rescheduled date.
