BALTIMORE – When the Yankees are bad, there’s no elixir like a trip to Camden Yards.
It was back on Friday night, on a day the Yankees suffered an ugly defeat in Tampa Bay , were still struggling with a COVID-19 outbreak, had lost two key members of the lineup to potentially significant injuries, and then seemed on track to yet another defeat.
Then Gio Urshela rescued the Bench game began the day as he dealt with a left knee pain.
Urshela’s three-time homer in seventh place gave the Yankees the lead and they stuck to a 5-4 win over the Orioles, to open the series.
Without Gleyber Torres (list of COVID-19 casualties), Aaron Hicks (injured left wrist), and Giancarlo Stanton (left quad narrow), the Yankees were able to base most of the top seven Innings do not hit, pitch or They had little to offer outside of a pair of Aaron Judge solo homers and were two runs behind seventh.
But with an out, Miguel Andujar hit his first goal of the season and Kyle Higashioka went to Throwing Cole Sulser out of the game.
After Tyler Wade was due, Aaron Boone went to Urshela, and Baltimore countered with another right-handed, Travis Lakins Sr.
Urshela littered four 2-2 fields in a row and then hit on the ninth field of the bat game. The triple home gave the Yankees their first lead since the start of the game.
Judge scored his ninth home run with two hits in the first half to give the Yankees a quick 1-0 lead, but Corey Kluber gave him back, allowing Austin Hays a solo shot in the lower part of the inning. Kluber avoided more damage because Higashioka knocked Cedric Mullins out of a stolen basic attempt before Hays’ shot.
Judge put the Yankees 2-1 ahead with his second homer of the night in the fourth game, but the Yankees had the chance to add even more before Clint Frazier’s latest mistake in the base run cost her.
Frazier played with an out and Brett Gardner followed with a single to the left center, his line drive escaping a diving Mullins.
Frazier understood the piece poorly, however. Apparently believing Mullins caught the ball, he went back to the first so Hays could pick up the ball and go left and throw for the force on the second.
Kluber found his groove after the homer to Hays and only allowed a walk to DJ Stewart in the second before Stewart reached out again to lead the fifth in a strange game.
Stewart hit a liner on the right. Richter dived and almost caught the ball, but the ball fell in and Stewart tried to get into second place.
He appeared to be out at first, but Wade dropped the ball. The Yankees challenged the game even though Stewart was clearly safe.
Stewart scored a double from Pedro Severino. Pat Valaika followed with a base hit in the middle to drive into Severino and give Baltimore a 3-2 lead.
Trey Mancini’s brace to the right was scored by Valaika, but the Yankees tossed Hays on the plate for that Hold game in two runs.
After Urshela’s explosion made it 5-4, Chad Green took over Kluber, who had allowed four runs in six innings, and threw a goalless seventh.
Lefty Wandy Peralta was eliminated in eighth place, but Stewart led ninth with a single before Boone went to Jonathan Loaisiga in place of the heavily used Aroldis Chapman.
Loaisiga got a double play from Maikel Franco and a pop-out from Severino to get it quit.
