Did you know? Facts on wild O's-Yanks game
Yankees rally from eight-run deficit to beat O's in 10
Down eight runs heading into the bottom of the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium on Friday night, the Yankees rallied to score 13 over the next five frames and beat the Orioles, 14-11, in 10 innings. Matt Holliday's walk-off, three-run homer against Jayson Aquino ended it.
Since 2000, the only Yankees comeback larger than this one came on April 21, 2012, when New York trailed Boston, 9-0, in the sixth inning at Fenway Park. The Yankees scored one in the sixth, seven in the seventh and seven in the eighth for a 15-9 victory.
Friday night's comeback came in a game that featured two of the most memorable home runs ever hit at new Yankee Stadium, along with several other notable moments:
• Aaron Judge did something no one had ever done before in the Statcast™ era (since 2015) -- his ninth home run of the season left the bat at 119.4 mph, the highest exit velocity ever recorded by Statcast™. The sixth-inning blast traveled 435 feet over the center-field wall, coming off Orioles' starter Kevin Gausman. It was Judge's second homer of the night -- the first had an exit velocity of 113.5 mph to left-center in the fifth.
Judge has three home runs this season with exit velocities greater than 115 mph.
• Manny Machado had a night to remember, even in defeat. The Orioles' star third baseman was a triple short of the cycle, singling in the first, doubling in the third (111.5 mph exit velocity) and blasting a 470-foot home run to dead-center field off CC Sabathia in the fifth. It was the longest homer hit at new Yankee Stadium in the Statcast™ era, and the longest in the Majors this season. The shot left Machado's bat at 113.9 mph.
• Prior to the Orioles' loss Friday, there had only been 15 games since 2012 in which a team scored 11 runs and lost. The most recent was last Tuesday, when the Rockies lost to the Nationals at Coors Field, 15-12. There were four such games in 2016.
• The last time Baltimore scored 11 times in a loss was July 29, 2006, a 13-11 defeat to the White Sox.
• The last time the Yankees allowed 11 or more runs at home and still won was June 7, 2008, a 12-11 victory over the Royals.
• Prior to New York's comeback, there had been only two games since the start of 2013 in which a team gave up 11 runs but won in extra innings. The first was on July 30, 2013, when the Rangers beat the Angels, 14-11, in 10 innings. The second was on Sept. 4, 2016, when the White Sox beat the Twins, 13-11, in 12 innings.
• This was only the sixth game in Orioles history (and only the third since 1977) in which they scored 11 or more runs, but lost on a walk-off hit. The last came on Sept. 3, 2000, when Baltimore lost to Cleveland, 12-11, on a walk-off homer by Kenny Lofton at Jacobs Field.
• This was the ninth time in Yankees history that New York gave up 11 or more runs, but won in walk-off fashion. The last was a June 7, 2008, win over Kansas City on a walk-off, two-run homer by Jorge Posada.
• Holliday's walk-off, three-run homer in the 10th was his first walk-off home run since Sept. 18, 2009, against the Cubs while a member of the Cardinals. The 14-year veteran's last extra-inning, walk-off homer came almost 10 years to the day, on April 29, 2007, against the Braves while playing for the Rockies.
• Starlin Castro's game-tying, two-run homer in the ninth was the latest game-tying homer of his eight-year career.
• This was the third game in Orioles history in which Baltimore had three relievers give up at least three runs, including a homer. The other two came in 2007 -- a 30-3 loss to the Rangers on Aug. 22 (the starter in that game, Daniel Cabrera, surrendered six runs and two homers) and a 17-2 loss to the Rays on Sept. 5.
