O's blast 5 HRs, win on walk-off 1B in 10th

March 25th, 2016

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Mark Trumbo, Caleb Joseph, J.J. Hardy, Manny Machado and Nolan Reimold all cranked home runs, and the Orioles rallied with three runs in the bottom of the 10th for an 11-10 win against the Yankees on Friday at Ed Smith Stadium. Garabez Rosa delivered a walk-off single for Baltimore.
"He's one of those guys that I keep asking our guys, 'Are we missing anything on this guy?'" Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Rosa, who is 6-for-8 this spring. "This guy's been pretty good up here for two years. He's pretty good."
Box score

Neither starting pitcher made it out of the fifth inning and both gave up five earned runs during their outings. Ivan Nova surrendered three homers in 4 2/3 innings for the Yankees as his bid for a rotation spot took a hit. O's starter Chris Tillman gave up a three-run shot to Chris Denorfia during the second and left the game after facing one batter in the fifth.
"I put myself in a really bad position right now if we look at the numbers," Nova said. "I would say they are going to make the decision, but sometimes you've got to help. I didn't help myself today."
Tillman's start was his third of Spring Training, and each has been rough. He retired the first four batters in a row before a pair of walks set the table for Denorfia, who delivered his first home run of the spring to give New York a 3-0 lead. Tillman allowed five earned runs on three walks, six hits and one hit batter. He struck out four. In 9 2/3 innings this spring, Tillman has a 9.31 ERA.
But the Orioles fought back with one of their typical power surges. A solo shot by Trumbo -- his fifth homer of the spring -- sliced the Yankees' lead in the second, and Joseph added a two-run shot an inning later. In the fourth, Hardy tied the game with another two-run home run.
"We've been talking about this for a little while now. It's fun to watch these guys play and hit the ball," Tillman said. "One through nine, it's fun to watch."
Machado went deep for Baltimore in the seventh, while Reimold homered in the ninth to send the game into extras.
Up next for the Yankees: The Yankees conclude a two-game road trip with a visit to Dunedin, Fla., to face the Blue Jays on Saturday at 1:07 p.m. ET (watch the game on MLB.TV). Bryan Mitchell will make his fifth appearance and third start of the spring. In 10 2/3 innings, the righty has a 0.84 ERA.
Up next for the Orioles: The Orioles conclude a three-game homestand against the Red Sox on Saturday at 1:05 p.m. with Yovani Gallardo on the mound (watch the game on MLB.TV). The righty is making his third Grapefruit League start of the spring. He allowed six hits and two runs over four innings on Monday against the Rays in an appearance at the O's Minor League camp.
