UNDATED (AP) — Rougned Odor was cut by the New York Yankees after last season. He got his revenge on Sunday by breaking up a scoreless tie with a pinch-hit, two-run single in the eighth inning of the Orioles’ 5-0 shutout of the Yanks in Baltimore.
The Birds were 2-for-28 with runners in scoring position in the series before Odor ignited a five-run rally. Kelvin Gutiérrez followed with a two-run double, and Jorge Mateo added an RBI single.
In other MLB action:
— The Blue Jays topped the Athletics, 4-3 as Alek Manoah struck out six over six innings to win his second straight start. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had two hits and scored twice to back Manoah, who allowed two runs and four hits.
— Michael Wacha tossed one-hit ball over five shutout innings before the Red Sox finally opened the scoring in an 8-1 romp over the Twins. J.D. Martinez and Trevor Story each had two RBIs for Boston, which broke it open with a six-run eighth.
— The Rays ended a four-game skid as Randy Arozarena doubled twice and finished with three hits in their 9-3 assault on the White Sox. Kevin Kiermaier and Yandy Diaz had RBIs in a four-run first when the Rays jumped on shaky Chicago starter Vince Velasquez without hitting the ball hard.
— Ty France hit a three-run homer and rookie starter Matt Brash took an odd no-hitter into the sixth inning of the Mariners’ 7-2 dumping of the Astros. Brash walked batters to lead off each of the first three innings and hit another, but Seattle got out of the jams with four double plays to take three of four in the series.
