The New York Yankees picked up a clutch hit from little-used Brendan Ryan to defeat the second-place Baltimore Orioles 3-2 in the Bronx.
How ironic Tuesday night turned out to be for Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees.
Just a day after taking so much flak for sending second-base prospect Rob Refsnyder back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, utility infielder Brendan Ryan comes up huge. Ryan, who just came off the DL, delivered the biggest hit of the night in the sixth inning.

Ryan hit a tie-breaking RBI double off of Baltimore Orioles starter Wei-Yen Chen to give the Yanks a 3-2 lead they would not relinquish.
Justin Wilson, Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller would make sure of it, pitching 3.1 scoreless innings to lock the win down for Nate Eovaldi.
