The Yankees wasted away a great start from Ryan Weathers , falling to the Baltimore Orioles, 3-2. It's New York's fourth straight loss after getting swept by the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend. Here are the takeaways...
-- Ben Rice recorded New York's first two hits of the game, and the second got the team on the board. After Trent Grisham walked with one out in the third inning, the growing star smacked a two-run homer to left-center field, putting the Yanks up 2-0. It was Rice's 13th home run of the season.
-- Weathers had arguably the best start of his Yankees career, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Weathers dazzled after issuing a leadoff walk to start the game, retiring 13 straight Orioles into the fifth inning, including five straight strikeouts in the second and third innings. The left-hander walked his second batter with one out in the fifth, but locked back in to get the next two outs.
He tossed another 1-2-3 inning in the sixth but lost the no-no bid to Adley Rustchman in the bottom of the seventh inning. Weathers stayed in the game and got Pete Alonso to groundout before walking Tyler O'Neill to end his night. He finished after 101 pitches in 6.
