New York pitcher Brett Nyquist had a large part in his team subduing the Baltimore Orioles, 9-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. Nyquist picked up the win for New York, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 2 hits. He now sports a record of 7-8. The 12th-place Yankees have won 4 in a row.

Sammy Sosa, who is tied for 7th in the VBL in home runs with 34, chipped in a 2-run home run for New York in the bottom of the first. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 RBI.

"We took it on the chin tonight," said losing manager Henry Rodriguez.
