No one walked more than Matt Holliday, a player who is paid to do nothing but hit. Holliday, who signed a one-year, $13 million deal in the winter to serve as the team’s designated hitter, drew a career-high five walks, including the one that led to the winning run.
The Yankees were given 11 free passes to first base by three Orioles pitchers, but it was not until the ninth inning that they were able to turn a walk into a run.
“Strange game,” Holliday said. “I’m not even sure I’ve ever even walked four times in a game.”
