NEW YORK — Chris Tillman worked seven strong innings, J.J. Hardy and Jonathan Schoop each drove in a pair of runs and the Orioles snapped their four-game losing streak — and New York’s four-game winning streak — with a 4-1 victory over the Yankees on Thursday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Tillman scattered four hits, walking two and striking out seven as he won his fourth consecutive start, again holding the opponent to exactly one run. Baltimore improved to 10-0 in games that the right-hander has started against the American League East this season.

CC Sabathia was charged with the loss on his 36th birthday. The left-hander allowed four runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings, permitting a two-run single to Hardy in the first inning and a two-run double to Schoop in the seventh.

Starlin Castro’s second-inning RBI single off Tillman accounted for the only New York run.

Zach Britton came on to pitch a scoreless ninth for his 30th save in 30 chances this season.
