Key pitching notes: Trey Gibson earned the win with a solid 5.2 innings — 6 hits, 1 earned run, and 4 walks on 100 pitches. He was not overpowering but managed traffic effectively, holding Tampa to 1 run across nearly 6 innings on a night Baltimore’s offense made every run irrelevant quickly. Andrew Kittredge had the most efficient relief outing — 1 inning, 0 hits, 3 strikeouts on just 17 pitches. Yennier Cano struggled without recording an out, allowing 3 hits and 1 earned run before being pulled.

Team Totals: 34 AB | 10 H | .294 AVG | 2 RBI | 0 HR | 0 XBH | 0.679 OPS
Key notes: Hunter Feduccia led Tampa with 3 hits from the catcher’s spot, though none went for extra bases. Ryan Vilade drove in both Tampa runs (RBI) despite going 0-for-4 at the plate — both came via productive outs or walks. Yandy Díaz went 0-for-3 with 2 walks in a quiet night after his 2-homer performance the previous game. Tampa had zero extra-base hits as a team — a telling reflection of how thoroughly Baltimore’s pitching staff kept them to singles.
Tampa Bay Rays Pitching
| Pitcher | Role | IP | H | R | ER | HR | K | BB | ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steven Matz (L) | SP | 3.0 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 18.00 |

| Jonathan Heasley | RP | 4.0 | 8 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 2 | — | 11.25 |
Key pitching notes: Steven Matz took the loss in brutal fashion — 3 innings, 7 hits, 6 earned runs, a 18.00 ERA for the outing. Baltimore’s 5-run first inning was almost entirely on his account. Jonathan Heasley was brought in to eat innings but fared little better — 4 innings, 8 hits, 5 earned runs, 2 home runs allowed. Baltimore’s offense was simply relentless on a night the Tampa pitching staff had no answers.

Paul Goldschmidt hit a 3-run home run in the first inning to set the tone, and Carlos Rodón held the Athletics to 1 earned run across 6 innings for the win.

Team Totals: 40 AB | 12 H | .300 AVG | 8 RBI | 3 HR | 6 XBH | 0.933 OPS
Key offensive notes: Ben Rice was again New York’s most productive bat — 4-for-5 with a home run, 2 doubles, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored, matching his output from the previous game and making him the hottest hitter on the roster right now. Goldschmidt’s 3-run first-inning homer was the game’s decisive blow, giving New York a 4–1 lead before the Athletics could respond. Aaron Judge went 1-for-5 with 2 RBI — another understated contribution in a lineup that doesn’t need him to carry it. Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 0-for-5 for the second straight game. New York went 4-for-14 with runners in scoring position and posted 6 extra-base hits.

Key pitching notes: Carlos Rodón was sharp and economical — 6 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 3 strikeouts on 93 pitches. His 1.50 ERA in the outing and 0.25 opponent average were the backbone of a comfortable win. Paul Blackburn gave up a run across his 2 innings but managed the game without drama. The Yankees’ pitching staff held the Athletics to a .250 average and 0.677 OPS across the full game.

Key notes: Henry Bolte led Oakland with 3 hits from the leadoff spot but scored no runs — a pattern that reflected the Athletics’ struggle to move runners around the bases. Nick Kurtz hit a solo home run for Oakland’s only extra-base hit. Shea Langeliers went 0-for-4 in the cleanup spot. Luis Severino — pitching for Oakland — lasted just 1 inning, allowing 4 runs (0 earned by ERA calculation but 4 actual runs scored) on 3 hits and a home run before being pulled after just 23 pitches.
