Eighteen innings weren't enough today.
The Orioles and Yankees were locked in a scoreless tie in Game 1 of their doubleheader until Chris Young homered off Brad Brach with two outs and the bases empty in the top of the 11th inning.
The bullpen had tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings with six strikeouts before Young homered for the second consecutive game. Zach Britton issued a walk in the 10th for the only Yankees baserunner since starter Kevin Gausman departed after the seventh.
Young pulled a 95 mph fastball from Brach into the left field seats with the count 2-2.
The score is no longer 0-0.
Gausman has allowed two runs in his last two starts covering 14 innings.
Jonthan Schoop is 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He's now 1-for-24 with 10 strikeouts in his last six games.
Adam Jones is 0-for-5 with four strikeouts. Jones and Schoop have each left five runners on base.
Quintin Berry pinch-ran for Steve Pearce in the ninth and stole second, making him 30-for-30 in the majors, including the playoffs. Berry is 25-for-25 in the regular season to tie Jacoby Ellsbury for the third-longest streak to start a career since 1961.
The Orioles are 13-5 in extra innings, and the Yankees are 7-6. The Yankees lead 1-0.
Update: Jimmy Paredes, pinch-hitting for Schoop with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th, lined a walk-off double to right field.
