Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt felt he needed to attack the strike zone more aggressively and he saw it pay off against the Orioles on Saturday afternoon, throwing seven innings without allowing a hit in a 90 win. While Schmidt was tempted to try and complete the no-no, his pitch count was already at 103 so he wisely took "the big picture" approach. Former Yankee Gary Sanchez singled off reliever JT Brubaker to spoil the no hitter but catcher J.C. Escarra was impressed with Schmidt's performance nonetheless. Shortstop Anthony Volpe called the outing "incredible" and was not the least bit surprised at how he dominated the Orioles lineup.

Reliever Luke Weaver's return to the Yankees bullpen was not an auspicious one, surrendering the go-ahead HR to Baltimore's Ramon Urias in a 5-3 loss. He termed it "devastating" saying he felt good physically but will have to bounce back from a tough loss. Starter Max Fried wasn't his usual pinpoint self either, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning. While captain Aaron Judge did belt his 27th home run of the season, he lamented some scoring opportunities that the team failed to cash in on.
