Yankees Waste Ryan Weathers Gem As Orioles Steal One Late In Baltimore

Yankees

The Yankees had this game. Then one swing erased the whole night.

Let’s be real, this is the type of loss that makes you stare at the screen for a few seconds after it ends.

The Yankees lost to the Orioles 3-2 on Monday night at Camden Yards, and yeah, this one hurts because Ryan Weathers was dealing. Not good. Not solid. Dealing.

Weathers took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. He gave the Yankees 6.1 innings, allowed just one hit, two earned runs, three walks, and struck out nine on 101 pitches. That should be enough to win a ballgame. Most nights, it is.

But baseball does this thing where one inning, one decision, one pitch can wreck everything.

The Yankees jumped ahead in the third when Trent Grisham walked and Ben Rice unloaded a two-run homer to left-center. Rice continues to be one of the few bats giving this lineup real juice, going 2-for-4 with his 13th homer and two RBI. He is now sitting with a 1.113 OPS. Let’s look at the stats — that is not just hot, that is carrying an offense.

And then the Yankees did almost nothing after that.

Aaron Judge doubled in the sixth. Max Schuemann doubled in the seventh. Paul Goldschmidt singled in the ninth. That was basically it. The Yankees finished with five hits, struck out nine times, and left too many chances sitting there.

Jazz Chisholm had a brutal night, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and four left on base. Ryan McMahon went 0-for-4. Austin Wells went 0-for-3. Spencer Jones went 0-for-2 before Goldschmidt hit for him in the seventh.

Then came the bottom of the seventh.

Adley Rutschman broke up the no-hitter with a single. Pete Alonso moved him over. Tyler O’Neill walked. Boone went to Brent Headrick, and Coby Mayo — who came into the game hitting .158 — crushed a three-run homer to left.

You cannot make this stuff up.

A guy batting .158 flips the entire game with one swing. Yankees go from cruising with a two-run lead to trailing 3-2 just like that.

Headrick took the loss and the blown save. Camilo Doval did his job in the eighth with a clean inning, but the damage was already done.

The ninth inning made it even worse. Goldschmidt singled with two outs, José Caballero came in to run, and then got thrown out trying to steal second. He was initially called safe, but replay overturned it. Game over.

That is now four straight losses for the Yankees, who fall to 26-16. And remember, this same Yankees team swept Baltimore earlier this month and outscored them 39-10.

That is what makes this one annoying. This was not a game where the Orioles beat them all night. The Yankees had the pitching. They had the lead. They had control.

Then one bad inning changed everything.

Now Will Warren gets the ball Tuesday night, and the Yankees need to stop this skid before it turns into something uglier.
