Gustavo Yacaman celebrated his first Firestone Indy Lights victory in a 35-lap race of attrition on the 2.04-mile, 12-turn Baltimore temporary street circuit.
Yacaman started third in the No. 2 TMR-Tuvacol-Xtreme Oil Drilling and was running second when he inherited the lead on a Lap 31 restart when race leader Anders Krohn overshot the tight Turn 1 right-hander and slid into the runoff.
He then had to hold off series championship points leader Josef Newgarden, who closed to 0.4500 of a second at the checkered flag.
Gustavo Yacaman, who recorded his third consecutive top-five finish, is the sixth different winner this season. Newgarden increased his lead over teammate Esteban Guerrieri to 90 points with two races remaining.
Guerrieri had a 5-second advantage over as they cross the start/finish line for Lap 26. Two laps later, Guerrieri's hopes of closing the points gap vanished as his car was stopped in Turn 3 because of a bent front suspension.
Victor Carbone finished a season-best third while Bruno Andrade advanced eight positions to finish fourth.
Stefan Wilson in the No. 5 Andretti Autosport car recovered from an adventure in the Turn 1 runoff on Lap 18 while running seventh to finish fifth.
