NEW YORK -- Kevin Gausman and the Baltimore Orioles quickly put two blowout losses at Yankee Stadium in the past.A good pitching performance can do that, every time.Gausman tamed the torrid New York hitters, Mark Trumbo lined his major league-leading 40th home run and Steve Pearce also connected as Baltimore averted a bruising sweep with a 5-0 win Sunday.The Orioles had been getting battered by the Yankees this weekend, outscored 27-9.Obviously, the first two games didnt go the way we wanted, Gausman said.Baltimore bounced back in the matchup between AL East playoff contenders, halting its three-game skid and ending the Yankees win string at four.Gausman (6-10) threw seven innings, giving up seven hits. He struck out nine and walked none to win his third start in a row.I was just trying to go out there and be a stopper today, he said.Gausman posted a rare road victory after going 0-16 in his previous 25 starts away from Camden Yards. Hed thrown well several times, but had nothing to show for it.Im pretty relieved. Its been kind of annoying here, he said.Gausman, newly signed Tommy Hunter and closer Zach Britton handed New York its first home shutout in more than a year.Yankees rookie sensation Gary Sanchez doubled and singled. He had homered in three straight games and is hitting .405 in 22 games this year.If someone says youre going to win a series against Baltimore, I think youre going to be pretty positive, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. But when you win the first two, sometimes guys can get down a little bit.Gausmans last pitch resulted in a grounder that third baseman Manny Machado backhanded and threw from his knees from foul ground across the diamond for the out. This was Gausmans fourth fine start against the Yankees this season and he finally wound up with a win, permitting only three earned runs in 27 2/3 innings during that span.CC Sabathia (8-11) shut out the Orioles on two singles until Pearce led off the sixth with his 12th home run.Earlier in the game, Pearce had been having fun with the fans in right field, tossing them balls after warmups between innings -- he provided another souvenir with his drive to deep left.Like the rest of the Orioles, he didnt dwell on the previous two losses.We flushed them. We werent looking back, he said.Pearce greeted reliever Adam Warren with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the seventh for a 3-0 lead.Batting leadoff for the first time in his 10-season career, Pearce had three hits. He also made a strong throw from right field to cut down Sanchez trying to reach third.Trumbo connected in the eighth for a two-run shot off Ben Heller. The slugger reached 40 home runs for the first time in his career and boosted Baltimores homer total to 204, most in the majors.Its hard to have a goal like that going into the season, Trumbo said. Its such a lofty number.Hunter, cut by Cleveland on Thursday, officially signed with the Orioles before the game and worked the eighth. He pitched parts of the last five seasons with Baltimore.It felt pretty good, Hunter said. Familiar faces.HIT THE MARKTrumbo got to 40 homers in his 129th game, making him the fifth-fastest Orioles player to get there. Chris Davis (109 in 2013), Jim Gentile (119 in 1961), Brady Anderson (120 in 1996) and Frank Robinson (123 in 1966) were faster.TRAINERS ROOMOrioles: CF Adam Jones (hamstring) hasnt played since an early exit Friday night.

It was as if he had been asked why water is wet or why the sun is hot. Then he stammered the only explanation he could muster: Its the Ryder Cup.While Reed did eventually elaborate as to why the biennial competition holds such importance, those four words should serve as the only necessary justification for why he so desperately wants to represent the red, white and blue once again this year.If he keeps playing like this at The Barclays, his probability of a roster spot will become a certainty by the end of the weekend.Reed entered this event as No. 8 on the U.S. points list, with the top eight players after this week having guaranteed automatic qualifying spots on the team. All of which placed him firmly on the bubble, not that hes showing the effects of feeling any pressure.With rounds of 66 and 68, Reed leads by 2 strokes over Rickie Fowler and Emiliano Grillo going into a weekend at Bethpages Black Course that could garner him an elusive first victory of this season, an invitation to the upcoming Tour Championship and, yes, an automatic berth on the Ryder Cup team.Not that hes thinking about the residuals.Really, Im going into this week trying to win a golf tournament, he said after a second round that included six birdies against just three bogeys. At the end of the day, if I go and I take care of me and do what I need to do this week, then the Ryder Cup will take care of itself. So Im not going into this week looking at it as, Oh, I need to do this for the Ryder Cup. Im going to think, Alright, I need to go win a golf tournament, and everything else will take care of itself.Winning hasnt come easy for him this season. A four-time PGA Tour champion, he has amassed 14 results in the top 25, nine in the top 10 and a pair of runner-up finishes at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and Valero Texas Open.ddddddddddddSome players -- especially those of the elite variety -- might consider their seasons a disappointment without a single trophy for the mantle, but Reed maintains that he can still have a successful campaign without one.Its golf, he explained. You have guys that are going to win in years and youre going to have guys that arent going to win in years. I think this year has been a lot better than last year and the previous years on consistency. Thats a big part that Ive been working on is to make sure I keep myself into golf tournaments. Not go out and win an event here and then miss two or three cuts and finish 50th, 40th.Its about consistency: consistently getting in contention, consistently having chances to win. If I keep doing that, I will at some point break through and win hopefully a couple in a row, not just one.Preaching about consistency seems like a peculiar strategy for a guy who has so often played inspired golf when the moment calls for it. This is the same player who put an index finger to his lips after rolling in a birdie putt during his singles match against Henrik Stenson two years ago at Gleneagles, the same player who called himself a top-fiver earlier that year.Even though Reed has only displayed a poker face when discussing how much the Ryder Cup is on his mind this week, at least one peer believes the prospect of qualifying for the team is the perfect form of motivation for him.All youve got to do is light the fire a little with him, said Jordan Spieth, his partner for three matches in the 2014 Ryder Cup. If he plays golf with some, whether it be motivation or just feeling like hes been a little off and he needs to just do that little bit extra, he always brings it.So far, Reed is bringing it this week.Whether he admits it or not, that Ryder Cup roster spot is a tantalizing carrot dangling right in front of him. Reed desperately wants to be on that team and isnt afraid to explain how important it is.Just ask him. Hell offer a slight scowl and a pause, then just four words.Its the Ryder Cup. ' ' '
