BALTIMORE — It took three injuries for Jhony Brito to find a rotation spot and another injury for him to find his way back to the majors. 

The way he is pitching, Brito is making a case for not leaving again. 

The 25-year-old, making his second career start, was excellent for a second time in the Yankees’ 4-1 win over the Orioles on Saturday at Camden Yards, where he made a strong push to remain with the big league club. 

Brito allowed one run in five innings, in which he surrendered three hits and two walks, and now has a 0.90 ERA.

In his debut last Sunday, he gave up zero runs and two hits in five innings in a win over the Giants. 

Brito was not at his sharpest Saturday and threw just 56 of his 92 pitches for strikes, but he was able to locate at opportune moments. 

“He made a lot of big pitches when he needed to,” said manager Aaron Boone, who added that Brito is making a case to stay in the rotation. 

The Yankees were only able to recall Brito earlier Saturday because an injury to third baseman Josh Donaldson allowed the pitcher to be added to the roster though he had not spent the required 15 days in the minors after his previous option to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Brito only cracked the rotation in the first place because injuries to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas created a need. 

Brito, ostensibly the fifth starter, has continued to perform and is outpitching Clarke Schmidt through two outings. 

“This is a dream ever since I was a little kid,” Brito said through interpreter Marlon Abreu. “To me and to the staff, I just wanted to prove that I could pitch.” 

The only run Brito allowed came with some pain. In the first inning, with Cedric Mullins on first, Adley Rutschman drilled a comebacker that hit Brito in the back of the leg, ricocheting off the righty and into shallow left field.

That enabled Rutschman to reach and Mullins to advance to third. Anthony Santander hit a sacrifice fly to score Mullins, which was the only dent Brito absorbed.

He bore down when needed and he had help. 

The Yankees’ defense was excellent behind Brito, who struck out two. In the second inning alone, the left side of the infield took care of each batted ball, with a great diving play from third baseman DJ LeMahieu taking away a hit from Rutschman, and Anthony Volpe ranging to snag a pair of ground balls.

Right fielder Oswaldo Cabrera stole a hit from Ryan Mountcastle with a sliding catch in the fourth. 

Brito’s biggest moment came in the fifth, when Ramon Urias hit a leadoff single and Brito fell behind, 3-0, to Terrin Vavra. 

“He’s a hitter away from being out of that game,” Boone said. 

But Brito fought back and won a 10-pitch at-bat with maybe his best changeup of the night for the strikeout.

He then induced a groundout from Mullins and struck out Rutschman.

Brito pounded his glove as he left the mound. 

“He’s not been fazed by anything so far,” Boone said.
