NEW YORK (AP) Gunnar Henderson set career highs with two homers, four hits and five RBIs - all in the first four innings - and the Baltimore Orioles routed Luis Severino and the New York Yankees 14-1 on Thursday night.

Henderson hit his first leadoff homer before the Orioles sent 21 batters to the plate in the third and fourth innings, opening a 13-0 lead with 11 hits, three walks and one hit batter.

Baltimore scored its most runs since a 15-10 win over Boston last Aug. 19 and had 20 hits, its high since 21 in an 18-5 victory over Cleveland on June 6, 2021. Ryan Oā€™Hearn had three hits and four RBIs and Cedric Mullins hit a two-run double for the Orioles, who won their second straight to gain a four-game split.

Severino (1-4) allowed seven runs and 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings and has a 7.38 ERA with a .315 opponents' batting average and .560 slugging percentage. He got just three swings and misses on the 23 fastballs.

Severino has given up 37 runs in his last seven games - the worst such stretch for a Yankees pitcher since CC Sabathia gave up 39 runs in seven games from July 14 through Aug. 18, 2013.

Kyle Bradish (5-4) allowed three hits over six innings.

New York got its only run on Billy McKinney's two-out, two-strike RBI single in the ninth.

Every Baltimore starter had a hit except rookie Colton Cowser, appearing in his second big league game. The 14 runs were the most the Orioles have scored against the Yankee since a 17-9 win on Sept. 27, 2005.

A Bronx cheer rose up from the crowd of 39,766 when Cedric Mullins grounded out, ending a five-run fourth. Fans paused from their wave during the fifth inning and booed when catcher Jose Trevino and first baseman DJ LeMahieu let a pop-up by RamĆ³n Urias fall behind them.

Isiah Kiner-Falafa made his fourth pitching appearance of the season. He allowed one hit in a scoreless inning, lowering his ERA to 2.25.

HENDERSON, BOONE RELIEVED

Henderson and Yankees manager Aaron Boone each spoke Thursday to YES Network cameraman Pete Stendel, who sustained a broken left eye socket when he was hit by Hendersonā€™s errant throw in Wednesday nightā€™s game. Stendel, who gave a peace sign as he was carted off the field after a 17-minute delay, was released from a hospital Thursday.

ā€œGlad everything was OK,ā€ Henderson said. ā€œHe just reached out and said ā€˜Donā€™t let it affect you in any way. Things happen.ā€™ā€

ā€œIā€™m glad heā€™s able to be at home resting,ā€ Boone said. ā€œObviously a very scary situation. I know I saw it in real time and it kind of freaked me out a little bit.ā€

ROSTER MOVES

The Yankees recalled RHP Deivi GarcĆ­a from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill the roster spot opened when RHP Randy VĆ”squez was optioned to the Triple-A affiliate after Wednesdayā€™s game. New York claimed LHP Anthony Misiewicz off waivers from Detroit and assigned him to Scranton. ā€¦ The Orioles traded RHP Chris Vallimont to Cleveland for cash. Vallimont made his big league debut Monday and was designated for assignment Wednesday.

TRAINERā€™S ROOM

Orioles: LF Austin Hays (left rib) felt better and hopes to return this weekend. Hays was injured Sunday during a collision with Minnesota's Donovan Solano, hours after Hayes learned heā€™d been selected to the AL All-Star team for the first time . ā€¦ OF Aaron Hicks was scratched from the starting lineup about 90 minutes before first pitch.

Yankees: OF Jake Bauers (shoulder) had a cortisone shot for a bruised rotator cuff sustained while making a diving catch Wednesday and likely will go in the injured list. ā€¦ OF Aaron Judge (right toe) is hitting off a tee, facing both soft and overhand tosses and running on a treadmill. ā€¦ LHP Nestor Cortes (rotator cuff) is expected to throw to hitters Sunday and then again at the Yankees' Tampa complex on July 13.

UP NEXT

Orioles: LHP Cole Irvin (1-3, 6.32 ERA) is slated to start Friday as Baltimore opens a three-game series at Minnesota. Irvin is 1-1 with a 3.44 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance since returning from Triple-A Norfolk on June 10.

Yankees: LHP Carlos RodĆ³n will make his New York debut in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Chicago Cubs. RodĆ³n, who signed a six-year deal worth $162 million in December, strained his left forearm in spring training and was slowed by a stiff back during his rehab.
