Story summary

On Friday night, Anthony Volpe hit a two-run double during his first game at shortstop since August 1st, helping the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles with a score of 6-3 and securing a split for their doubleheader. Ryan McMahon contributed an RBI single in the fifth inning, while rookie Spencer Jones added another run-scoring hit as part of New York's three-run sixth inning surge that widened their lead to 4-0 after Volpe’s fly ball was mishandled by right fielder Rece Hinds. With this victory, the Yankees improved their season record to 93-68 and are on track to achieve a unique milestone: if they win their final game of the year, it would mark the first time any team has matched its 93-win record in three consecutive seasons since records began being kept by the Elias Sports Bureau. Volpe's performance since his call-up on September 10th includes nine RBIs and an improved batting average to .245.
