ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — For the first time in a century, the New York Yankees won a game with just one hit.

According to Baseball Reference data going back to 1913, the Yankees’ only other one-hit win was when Charlie Mullen had an RBI single to beat Cleveland 1-0 in six innings of a doubleheader nightcap on July 10, 1914.

Nathan Eovaldi (6-2) gave up one run and six hits in six innings to win his career-best fifth consecutive start.
