The Yankees finished off a sweep of last-place Baltimore with a 10-5 win, as the woeful Orioles made five errors, leading to six unearned runs. 

The victory extended the Yankees’ winning streak to six games, as  they completed an undefeated homestand with a second straight series sweep after they did the same thing to Cleveland over the weekend. 

They’ve also won eight of their last nine to catapult themselves into first place in the AL East. 

“Everyone had a hand in wins almost every day,’’ Aaron Boone said. 

A truly incredible story was shared about Dennis Rodman in “The Last Dance” documentary by ESPN.

During the 1997-1998 season, which was the last the Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen/Phil Jackson Chicago Bulls spent together, Dennis Rodman wanted a break after helping to carry the team in Pippen’s absence. Jackson granted Rodman permission to go to Las Vegas for a few days during that time even though it was the middle of the season.

Jordan warned against the trip, saying Rodman wouldn’t return in time. So guess what happened?

“I went to f—ing Vegas,” Rodman recalled.

Rodman partied with his then-girlfriend Carmen Electra, a popular actress and Playboy model.

“It was on, the party was starting right away,” said Electra. “[Rodman] was wild.”

The trip last beyond the 48 hours Jackson approved, leading Jordan to go to Vegas to get Rodman.

Jordan says he got Rodman out of bed with Electra.

“There’s a knock on the door. It’s Michael Jordan, and I hid. I didn’t want him to see me like that, so I’m hiding behind the couch with covers on me,” Electra recalled.

Citi Field has seen plenty of Max Scherzer, but for the first time on Tuesday night, he took the mound there as a Met. The right-hander didn’t take long to get the crowd of 27,490 hanging on his every pitch.

Scherzer flirted with throwing a no-hitter, recording two outs in the sixth inning before giving up his first and only hit of the game, and struck out 10 over seven innings to lead the Mets to a 3-1 win over the  Giants on a cold night in Queens.

It completed a doubleheader sweep after Francisco Lindor secured his first walk-off as a Met for a 5-4 win in Game 1, improving Buck Showalter’s club to 9-3 with a strong start to a four-game series against the reigning NL West champs.

“Wild one tonight,” said Scherzer, who said his stuff felt worse than usual because of an inability to grip the ball in the cold. “Just the conditions we were playing in, the fans out here loving it and providing a good atmosphere for us to play in.” 

This was more like what the Yankees expected in 2022 — both from Gerrit Cole and their offense.

For the first time this season, Cole looked like the pitcher the Yankees are paying him to be and his offense provided plenty of support in return as the Yankees beat the Guardians 10-2 to secure the three-game sweep.

Cole received a standing ovation as he walked off the mound after throwing 6 scoreless innings and Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu and even Tim Locastro each belted two-run homers in a rare chance to breathe for the Yankees (10-6).

Before Sunday, 13 of their first 15 games had been decided by three runs or fewer — the most in the majors. Their biggest win of the season had been only 4-0 over the Blue Jays. But on Sunday, the Guardians (7-8) served as fodder for a team in need of a laugher.

The Yankees’ 10 runs and 13 hits both marked season highs, with LeMahieu’s three-hit day leading the way.

Ford has recalled more than 650,000 pickup trucks and SUVs due to an issue causing the vehicles’ windshield wipers to break and fail, the Associated Press reports.

The recall includes certain F-150 pickup trucks, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years, as well as the Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks from the 2020 through 2022 model years.

Ford said the teeth on the wipers on trucks and SUVs included in the recall aren’t the right height, which may cause the wiper arms to become stripped.

Malfunctioning wiper arms may reduce windshield visibility, which causes a greater risk of a crash taking place.

Ford said some of the trucks were built with higher-torque wiper motors amid a global shortage of computer chips.

Eduardo Escobar’s hustle double sparked an unusual three-run sixth-inning outburst by the New York Mets, who went on to beat the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 in the finale of a three-game series.

J.D. Davis and James McCann collected RBIs later in the sixth and Pete Alonso remained red-hot as a designated hitter by hitting a two-run homer in the seventh for the Mets, who have opened the season with seven wins in 10 games.

Five pitchers combined on the five-hitter for the Mets, with Chasen Shreve (1-0) earning the win by tossing two perfect innings.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made some big changes this offseason, but they proved that they are still very much committed to Derek Carr.

Carr and the Raiders have agreed to a three-year, $121.5 million contract extension. Carr had one more year left on his previous deal, so the new one ties him to Las Vegas through the 2025 season.

The new contract includes a no-trade clause.

Carr’s representatives have been working on a new contract with the Raiders since the start of the offseason. 

Carr, 31, threw for 4,804 yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season while leading the Raiders to the playoffs. He has to be thrilled with the way his offseason has gone.

Two months ago, Scottie Scheffler had yet to win on the PGA Tour. Since then he has collected four wins and the world No. 1 ranking — plus a Masters green jacket.

At just 25 years old, Scheffler is the youngest Masters victor since fellow-American Jordan Spieth earned the green jacket at the age of 21 in 2015. Scheffler finished three strokes ahead of runner-up Rory McIlory, who had a record-tying final round.

Scheffler now has four wins in his last six PGA Tour tournaments, all of which have come in the last 56 days. The Dallas native captured a win at the Phoenix Open in a playoff, delivered a victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and then took first place at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

With Sunday’s win at the Masters, Scheffler pocketed $2.7 million and has now earned $8,872,200 over his last six starts.
