Mateo led off the third inning with a single off of Skubal, swiped second base and took third on a ground ball before being stranded there. He then led off the fifth inning with a single off of the star southpaw, again pilfered second, and again the O’s were unable to cash him in. With the two-hit effort, the 29-year-old speedster is now hitting .136/.136/.182 with zero homers, zero RBI and five stolen bases in 22 plate appearances on the season.

Urías’ second inning home gave the Orioles an early lead that they would never relinquish despite some shaky moments from their bullpen. There’s been a constant public outcry from the fantasy baseball community against Urías’ playing time over some highly regarded prospects during the past years, but he’s been one of the most productive bats in Baltimore to this point in the season with a .757 OPS.

Bautista continues to look more and more like himself with each passing appearance. His fastball touched 99 mph for the first all season here and he made quick work of the Yankees in a one-run game. While his stuff hasn’t been particularly sharp to this point, there’s a good chance he’s still shaking off the rust from missing last season following Tommy John surgery.

Povich had some command issues in this one. He allowed home runs to Aaron Judge and Paul Goldschmidt on pitches that were literally right down the middle and was around the heart of the plate far too often. Otherwise, he was missing badly with his secondary pitches, especially his changeup and curveball. Povich needs some semblance of consistency from those pitches to get right-handed batters out, but they combined to force just one swing-and-miss and zero swings outside the strike zone. Alas, he’s lined up for a two-start week coming up against the Twins and Angels.

Swanson has really struggled out of the gate this season, so it was nice to see him finally hit the ball well. This was his first three-hit game on the campaign and it raised his batting average by nearly 20 points to finally climb back above the Mendoza Line. He still has plenty of work to do though as one of the more disappointing players in the league to this point.

This game got out of hand quickly after Chase Petty coughed up nine runs in fewer than three innings in his major league debut. De La Cruz was still able to notch a few hits though and extend his hitting streak. While his full-season stat line doesn’t feel gaudy at the moment, he’s still on pace for 25 home runs, nearly 60 stolen bases, and 100 runs and RBI apiece.

Jesús Sánchez got turned around in center field on the triple, which really ought to have been an out. Still, the triple did travel 389 feet, which is the second farthest Betts has hit a ball this year. It was Betts’ second extra-base hit in two weeks and eighth of the year. At .250/.339/.407 through 28 games, he’s still looking for his first hot streak this season.
