Yankees lose no-hit bid on controversial check swing call
The Yankees were six outs away from history, but a controversial call put an end to that.
After Clarke Schmidt delivered seven no-hit innings, reliever JT Brubaker entered in the eighth inning to face Orioles leadoff man Gary Sanchez.
With two strikes, Sanchez took what was close to a half-swing, and despite the Yankees checking the call with first base umpire Jansen Visconti, it was ruled he did not swing and the pitch was a ball.
Sanchez, the ex-Yankee, made the most of his second chance and lined a single to center to break up the no-hitter on the very next pitch.
Gary Sanchez was ruled not to have swung.
'No he didn't!' YES Network play-by-play man Michael Kay said on the broadcast after the call was made. 'From up here it looked like he went — Brubaker thought so. … Oh, c'mon.'
A no-hitter would've been doubly historic, as there has not been one this season and the Yankees have never tossed a combined one.

Jazz Chisholm, Jr. scores Yankees' first run on strange play Sunday
Jazz Chisholm, Jr. scores Yankees' first run on strange play Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It was 11:35 a.m. on a Sunday, which already made things feel off. Because the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles were featured in the Roku Leadoff Game of the Week, they started earlier than usual. By the bottom of the second inning, things got weird fast. Advertisement Jazz Chisholm Jr. was on second with the Yankees trailing 2–0 when he broke for home on DJ LeMahieu's smoked line drive to left. As he turned the corner at third base, Chisholm shifted into another gear and ran right out of his left shoe. Chisholm, however, kept going, and so did the weirdness. New York Yankees third basman Jazz Chisholm, Jr. © John Jones-Imagn Images The throw came up the line. Orioles catcher Maverick Handley reached out to make the tag. Chisholm didn't slow down. Instead, he tried to juke the tag and then half tried to leap over it —an awkward, airborne sidestep. Handley's arm and shoulder seemed to clip Chisholm's hip as he lost the ball. Chisholm hit the dirt, slapped the plate, and popped up with one sock on. The run counted. The cleat did not. Advertisement Handley stayed down after the play and left the game after several minutes of being examined by trainers. There was no immediate update, but it was a hard collision—one that didn't feel routine. That's a huge blow for the Orioles, who just put All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman on the injured list Saturday. Chisholm stayed in the game, unfazed as usual. It wasn't clean or smooth. But it got the Yankees on the board, trimming the deficit to 2–1. It may not have been what anyone expected when the game started with coffee and bagels. But if New York needed a jolt, Chisholm gave them one. Even if it cost him a shoe.

Chisholm rallies Yankees to 4-2 win as New York takes 2 of 3 from Orioles
NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run double off the right-center field wall in a three-run eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday. New York won its second straight after losing seven of its previous eight games. A day after the Orioles were held hitless for seven innings by Clarke Schmidt, Jackson Holliday singled on Will Warren's first pitch, setting up a two-run first that included Ryan O'Hearn's run-scoring single and Colton Cowser's RBI double. Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left after being knocked over in the second during a collision at the plate with Chisholm, who scored on DJ LeMahieu's single against Dean Kremer. Ben Rice singled off Bryan Baker (3-2) leading off the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton's single put runners at the corners. Chisholm doubled and is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from the injured list, raising his average to .242. New York boosted the lead when Gary Sánchez dropped shortstop Gunnar Henderson's throw on LeMahieu's grounder, allowing Chisholm to slide across the plate. Fernando Cruz (2-3) struck out the side in the eighth and has 50 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Devin Williams pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. In a game that started at 11:39 a.m. to fulfill a Major League Baseball national television contract, Warren gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. New York had been 1-22 when trailing after seven innings. Baker fell behind Chisholm in the count 3-0, then left a fastball over the plate. Orioles: LHP Trevor Rogers (0-0, 3.12) starts Monday night's homestand opener against Texas and LHP Patrick Corbin (4-6, 3.91). Yankees: Rookie RHP Allan Winans makes his New York and season debut on Monday night at Cincinnati, which starts LHP Nick Lodolo (5-5, 3.71).
