Matt Holliday Launches Yankees Past Orioles With 3-Run Shot In The 10th

NEW YORK (AP) — Matt Holliday hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and the New York Yankees completed a stunning rally from an eight-run deficit, outslugging the Baltimore Orioles 14-11 on Friday night.

In a game of home run derby, Starlin Castro tied it with a two-run drive that capped a three-run burst in the ninth off Brad Brach. Then in the 10th, Holliday hit the eighth home run of the evening — five by the Yankees — with one out off Jayson Aquino (1-1).

“I was all nervous with Adam Jones out there,” Holliday said of the Orioles’ Gold Glove center fielder.
