Orioles stun Yankees in Baltimore
After an impressive win against Oakland, New York Yankees were stunned 5-12 by Baltimore Orioles on Friday night at the Oriole Park at Camden Yards where the hosts scored their first seven points in a row, six of which only within the second term.
The first inning went clean for both sides, but the second one saw Baltimore power through to a very consistent lead. Reynolds opened the game with a 391 foot homerun, being followed by Adams who doubled the advantage after Reimold doubled to left. Angle then doubled to right for the same Reimold’s third one and Andino doubled in the same direction right afterwards, allowing Angle to open the gap to four points.
Moreover, Hardy hit a 411 footer, being followed by Andino who scored a six one as just. The third term also went scoreless for the two sides, while the fourth one saw Angle end the early rally after Hardy grounded into fielder’s choice to shortstop.
Yankees’ first reply came lat ein the fifth term through Posada who cut the deficit to six points after hitting a 395 footer. Orioles broke back immediately as Reimold tripled to right, allowing both Wierers and Adams to bring back the comprehensive lead. Finally, Wieters fired a 369 foot homerun in the sixth, while Markakis and Guerrero scored the last points for the hosts, making it 12-1.
From then on, New York could only cut deficits and stay behind their opponents until the end. Rodriguez hit a 421 foot homerun in the seventh term, being followed by Swisher, who also hit a 424 footer, and Cano. Yankees’ last consolation came from Jeter who scored their fifth point after Teixeira hit a sacrifice fly to left in the eighth term.
Said a disappointed Joe Girardi, Yanks’ manager: “I’m frustrated. Part of my job is to remember it’s a person out there struggling. It’s not just an employee of the New York Yankees. It hurts me to see someone struggling. We’ve got to try and fix it.”

On the other side, New York remain one gameback behind current leaders Boston Red Sox, with a .605 percentage which features 78 wins and 51 losses, the defeat to Orioles being their fifth in the past ten games and 25th on the road.
