Clarke Schmidt orchestrated a remarkable performance for the New York Yankees, tossing seven hitless innings against the Baltimore Orioles in a commanding 9-0 victory. The dominant outing, highlighted by five strikeouts and only two walks, saw Schmidt come close to delivering the Yankees' first no-hitter since June 2023. The Orioles managed just one hit, a single by Gary Sánchez, in the eighth inning, preventing history from being made.

Alongside Schmidt's stellar pitching, the Yankees' offense came alive with a combined 14 hits including solo home runs from Trent Grisham, JC Escarra, Ben Rice, and Anthony Volpe. This victory marked a significant turnaround for New York, who had struggled with consistency, winning only twice in their last nine games. Volpe, in particular, made headlines by breaking out of a slump, contributing three hits after a 25-at-bat hitless streak.
