Alex Rodriguez put the Yankees on the board with an RBI single off Kevin Gausman in the third. Gausman went six innings and held the Yankees to seven hits. His mound counterpart, CC Sabathia, struggled with command but managed to emerge unscathed. Sabathia allowed two hits and six walks, twice escaping a bases-loaded spot to go five scoreless innings.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Wieters comes through: The O's catcher has been clutch all year and did it again in his only at-bat on Sunday. Baltimore went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and had left nine men on base before the rain delay.

Sabathia's high-wire act: Sabathia threw a season-high 111 pitches in five innings plus a batter but managed to escape multiple bases-loaded jams. After walking Manny Machado to load the bases with two outs in the third, Sabathia struck out Mark Trumbo on three pitches to end the threat. The scenario repeated in the fifth -- a two-out walk to Machado to load the bases, before a three-pitch strikeout of Trumbo. Sabathia allowed just two hits but issued a season-high six walks and hit a batter.

Yanks 'pen can't hang on: Clinging to the one-run lead in the eighth, Yankees reliever Dellin Betances walked Trumbo and allowed a Chris Davis single before the delay. Both would score when play resumed after Chapman blew his first save in 10 attempts this season. Betances has now allowed at least one run in his last four appearances. The right-hander has thrown 4 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and six earned runs in four appearances since Tuesday.
Gausman stops the slide: The righty turned in the first quality start for the O's in five games with Sunday's outing. Gausman became the first starter to allow fewer than five runs over that stretch, striking out five.
