Luis Gil pitched 6 1/3 innings and Oswaldo Cabrera hit a two-run home run as the New York Yankees beat the host Baltimore Orioles 2-0 on Wednesday.

Caleb Ferguson, Ian Hamilton and Clay Holmes worked out of the bullpen to secure the Yankees' second shutout win of the season. Holmes logged 1 2/3 innings for this 10th save.

Gil (2-1) allowed two hits and issued one walk while striking out five.

The Yankees, who scored a total of two runs while losing the first two games of the four-game series that ends Thursday, still had trouble generating much offense. Cabrera finished with two of the team's four hits.

New York won for just the third time in the past seven games.

Orioles starter Corbin Burnes (3-1) worked six innings, allowing both runs and four hits with one walk and six strikeouts.

Mike Baumann and Yohan Ramirez combined for three perfect innings out of the Baltimore bullpen. The Orioles managed only three hits.

There were just three baserunners in the game through four innings. Burnes recorded the first two outs of the fifth before Jose Trevino hit an infield single and Cabrera followed with his fourth home run of the year. It was his first blast since April 13.

After the Cabrera homer, the Yankees sent the minimum number of batters to the plate for the rest of the game. Juan Soto reached on a leadoff walk in the sixth and stole second base, but he was thrown out trying to steal third.

Cedric Mullins walked and Heston Kjerstad was hit by a Hamilton pitch to put Baltimore's first two batters on base in the eighth. Holmes was summoned with one out, and he struck out Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman.

The Orioles brought the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth after Ryan O'Hearn hit a leadoff infield single, but the threat faded.

Burnes joined the Orioles this year after six seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. Baltimore won the first five games in which he pitched until dropping a 10-inning matchup against the Oakland A's on Friday.
