Yankees 2, Orioles 1
NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez hit his 696th career homer and Yankees starter Ivan Nova pitched six innings. Nova loaded the bases in the first and needed 60 pitches to get through three but allowed just a solo homer to Jonathan Schoop. Nova used 37 pitches over his final three innings. Rodriguez, 40, was making his fourth straight start coming out of the All-Star break. Since his last homer June 18, he'd gone 10-for-50.
