Down to their final strike with the tying run on third base and their 100th loss looming, the Orioles enjoyed a stroke of fortune that usually only their opponents receive — a wild pitch to tie the game.
The Orioles were trailing 2-1 before pinch-runner Kelvin Gutiérrez scored to tie the game and send it to extra-innings, setting up a walk-off single by Austin Hays in the 10th to give them a 3-2 win over the New York Yankees Thursday before 20,164 fans who waited through the rain for a folk-rock concert from the Avett Brothers and an Orioles comeback.
