The Baltimore Orioles finished the road portion of the 2022 season on Sunday with a 3-1 win over the New York Yankees. With the win the Birds finished with a 38-43 record away from Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
A Ryan Mountcastle (1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1BB) RBI-double in the first staked the Orioles to the early lead. The Yankees tied the game in the fifth inning when they scored their lone run. A wild pitch by starter Kyle Bradish (5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 UER, 5 BB, 5 K) allowed that run to score.
The Orioles loaded the bases in the seventh inning with a single by Cedric Mullins (2 for 5, 1 2B, 1 Run Scored) and walks to Adley Rutschman (2 for 3, 1 2B, 2 Runs Scored, 2 BB) and Anthony Santander (0 for 3, 2 BB).

Kyle Stowers went 1 for 3 with a double.
