Pete Alonso hit his 42nd and 43rd home runs of the season as Baltimore beat the Yankees 10-2 in the doubleheader opener. His 43 homers and 112 RBIs both led the AL; Dylan Beavers hit his first career grand slam, and Jeremiah Jackson added an inside-the-park homer.
Trevor Rogers allowed one run in four innings and was removed after 55 pitches in what appeared to be a preplanned move; he had already logged a career-high 169.2 innings. Albert Suárez followed with four scoreless innings and five strikeouts.
