BALTIMORE -- Manny Machado hit a two-run homer off Dellin Betances with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to give the Baltimore Orioles a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

Betances (3-6) got the first two batters out in the ninth before walking Tim Beckham. Machado then hit his second homer of the night -- on a 1-0 pitch -- to left-center.

Zach Britton (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for Baltimore, which rallied from an early 6-1 deficit thanks to four homers.

Didi Gregorius and Jacoby Ellsbury each hit two-run singles to spark a six-run second inning for the Yankees.

The Orioles came back to cut the deficit to 6-5 on Mark Trumbo's two-run homer in the sixth off CC Sabathia but didn't get another hit until Machado's game-winning blast.

Sabathia gave up three homers in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed five runs on eight hits but left with a 6-5 lead.

Baltimore starter Jeremy Hellickson dealt with control issues and lasted only 2 1/3 innings. He gave up five runs (three earned), four walks and two hits.

The Orioles manufactured a run in the first inning after the 2-hour, 14-minute rain delay pushed back the start.

Jonathan Schoop walked and later scored on a Trey Mancini soft infield single to short, giving Baltimore a 1-0 lead. But New York bounced back in the third, taking advantage of Hellickson's control issues.

The Yankees scored six in the third, set up by two Hellickson walks, a hit batter and an error. Gregorius gave them the lead with a two-run single off Hellickson, who was replaced by Richard Bleier after walking Matt Holliday to load the bases.

Adam Jones then dropped a Greg Bird fly ball. Jones got an error, Bird was credited with a sacrifice fly and New York led 3-1. Todd Frazier's groundout added one more run before Ellsbury followed with a two-run single for a 6-1 lead.

Machado hit a solo homer off Sabathia in the third that made it 6-2. Schoop added another solo shot in the fifth that cut the lead to three.
