Powell's wet dash spurs Orioles past Yankees in rain
Boog Powell, 6-4, 235, turned a routine single into a wild dash home as Baltimore beat the Yankees 6-5 at rainy Yankee Stadium. A slick ball in left field and a soggy outfield sparked chaos, with Powell scoring after a misplayed relay. Sam Bowens added an 11th inning RBI single to seal the win for Baltimore. In other AL games, Chicago won seventh straight, Houston routed Cleveland, and Minnesota edged California.
