For two years, it seemed like the Yankees could always find a way to beat the Orioles in The Bronx.
And on Wednesday, it was only a matter of time before the Yankees made it 13 home games against Baltimore.
But a costly foul by Gleyber Torres, a shot allowed by Chad Green and a fine throw from the right field by Anthony Santander, lost a 4-3, 11-over Yankees.
Chance Sisco’s flare single, which left Green in 11th place, put auto runner Rio Ruiz out of third to put the Orioles ahead forever.
Brett Gardner defeated Gio Urshela in 11th place in 11th place before DJ LeMahieu, with one out, raised a volley to level right. Urshela tried to score, but was thrown out by Santander.
In the previous innings, Green apparently escaped the trouble when he landed Pedro Severino after Torres, with Santander out on third and second. But Torres made another bad play and initially hit the throw to Jay Bruce. Bruce could not choose it, and Santander scored the run on the error.
Before the game, manager Aaron Boone defended Torres’ performance in defense after the shortstop made another mistake on Tuesday.
Torres was saved in the first half of the 10th over, when Kyle Higashioka knocked to the right, and Tyler Wade, who was the pinch, chased home with the draw, but the Yankees could not score in the eleventh scoring.
They trailed by a run to the bottom eighth place, leaving nine runners behind, despite hitting the ball hard throughout the night.
But with two out and no one on, Gary Sanchez picked on a liner to the left and the ball was played incorrectly by Ryan Mountcastle.
Sanchez was replaced by pinch runner Mike Tauchman. The move immediately paid off when Urshela doubled to center-left and chased Tauchman home, just below Pedro Severino’s badge on the board.
That tied the game at 2-2, and Gardner followed with an inside hit, which sent Urshela to third place, but LeMahieu had the point to end the innings.
Aroldis Chapman started the ninth after Nick Nelson, Darren O’Day and Jonathan Loaisiga combined for 3 ¹ / ₃ pointless innings.
Chapman put the side in order.
The bullpen shone with relief from Jameson Taillon, who made his first start in nearly two years, returning from a second Tommy John operation. He was excellent at starting the game and retired the first nine batsmen he faced, while the Yankees consistently threatened to leave John Means, left of Baltimore.
In the first place, Torres took a one-time step and moved to third place on Giancarlo Stanton’s hard hit, but Clint Frazier stepped into the center for the final, after LeMahieu and Aaron Hicks had done it earlier as well. the turn.
They broke through in the third.
Gardner starts with a single through the right, and LeMahieu follows with a line in the middle, giving the Yankees runners first and second place, without anyone being out. After Torres whispered, the struggling Hicks delivered another hit in the middle and drove Gardner home for the first run of the game. The rally ended when Stanton grounded in a double play.
The Orioles drew the game shortly thereafter as Cedric Mullins led the fourth with a long goal kick in the right-field bleachers. He was the first batter to stab Taillon, knocking out Trey Mancini for the first time. But Santander follows and takes Taillon deep again, this time in the Yankees’ bullpen in the right middle to give Baltimore a 2-1 lead.
Taillon was pulled out in fifth place with two, replaced by Nelson. Taillon allowed two runs and hit seven and did not run a batter.
The Yankees tried to get Taillon off the fifth under the hook, with singles by Torres and Stanton slowing down to 115 mph, but former Yankees forward Dillon Tate urged Frazier to end the threat.
In the sixth, Sanchez doubled the left field line with one out and moved to third on Urshela’s volleyball to center, but was stranded when Gardner struck.
LeMahieu started the seventh with a hit, but Torres flew to the right and Hicks and Stanton whispered, while Stanton heard it from the small crowd.
