Gunnar Henderson homered to lead off the first inning and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 2-0 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series.
PublishedBALTIMORE — Gunnar Henderson led off the first inning with a homer to become the youngest player in major league history with 10 before May 1 and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 2-0 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series.
After fouling off the previous three pitches, the 22-year-old Henderson lined a 2-2 knuckle-curve over the wall in right off Clarke Schmidt . Henderson tied the Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout for the major league lead in homers. “I’d like to say I know I can do it, but it definitely would be a little surprising,” Henderson said when asked if he thought before the season he would have 10 home runs before the end of April. “I’m definitely feeling good a little bit.”
“We pitched so well against a really, really tough lineup, starting with Grayson,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said. “Grayson was absolutely outstanding. Really good fastball with changeup tonight. Thought he kept them off balance extremely well.”New York left 10 men on base and was 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.
