“the Yankees led by five”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm the Yankees defeated the Orioles 9-4. One specific source (MSN/Bradish) explicitly states the Yankees led 6-1 before Baltimore chipped away in the sixth, which aligns with a lead of five runs (6-1) entering that phase of the game.

“Alonso grounding into a double play that scored a run”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence from MSN explicitly states that the Orioles loaded the bases for Alonso, but 'the slugger grounded into a double play,' without mentioning a run scoring. Conversely, a different game (Subway Series) mentions a grounder to Alonso where a throwing error allowed a run, but the claim specifically refers to the Orioles game context where the double play occurred.
