For the second straight game, Orioles left fielder Austin Hays turned a single by New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela into an out.
A night after throwing out Aaron Judge at third base in the eighth inning on what manager Brandon Hyde and center field Cedric Mullins called a “game-saving play” after Baltimore’s 4-2 victory Monday, Hays picked up another outfield assist from left field when he nailed Giancarlo Stanton at home on Urshela’s bases-loaded single in the fourth inning of a 5-1 defeat Tuesday.
Entering play, only 15 major league outfielders had multiple assists. Hays matched that in a span of six innings.
