The New York Yankees finally broke through their June struggles, recording a dominant 9-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The game showcased a power display from the Yankees, highlighted by four solo home runs and stellar pitching from Clarke Schmidt, who tossed seven no-hit innings. His performance included five strikeouts, helping New York secure a vital win after a six-game losing streak.

In a curious strategic move, Yankees manager Aaron Boone opted to replace Schmidt with JT Brubaker in the eighth inning, denying Schmidt the chance to complete a no-hitter. Brubaker, making his first big league appearance since 2022, allowed a single but preserved the shutout. The Yankees sit in a tight race with the Tampa Bay Rays at the top of the AL East, and a series win over the Orioles is within reach.
