A two-run homer by Chris Chambliss and two-run single by Oscar Gamble in the seventh inning carried the Yankees to a 7-3 victory over the Orioles. Roy White bunted safely to start the stanza and, with one away, Chambliss hit his homer to kayo Mike Cuellar. Dyar Miller, in relief, walked three batters to load the bases before giving way to Grant Jackson, who was tagged for Gamble's single. [The Sporting News]
