Sabathia leads Yankees over Orioles 8-3
BALTIMORE — CC Sabathia allowed three runs in 7 2-3 innings, Robinson Cano homered, and the New York Yankees took control early against the Baltimore Orioles in an 8-3 victory Wednesday night.
Nick Swisher had his second straight three-hit game for the Yankees, who built a 6-0 lead in the third inning against Jeremy Guthrie (0-3).
Sabathia (3-1) gave up 11 hits, struck out five and walked two. The left-hander came within four outs of becoming the first Yankee since David Wells in 1998 to pitch three straight complete games.
In 15 career appearances against Baltimore, Sabathia is 10-1 with a 2.62 ERA. He had pitched 54 innings at Camden Yards without allowing a home run before Nick Markakis connected in the seventh.
