BALTIMORE (AP) — First, Ryan Weathers lost his no-hit bid. Not long after that, the New York Yankees lost the lead. And ultimately, they ended up with their fourth straight defeat.
Pitching for the first time since May 2 after a severe viral infection caused him to lose nine pounds, Weathers took a no-hitter and a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. Perhaps the last thing on the left-hander's mind was completing the Yankees' first no-hitter since Domingo Germán threw a perfect game against the Athletics on June 28, 2023. “To be honest with you, I had zero idea,” Weathers said afterward.
“I was walking guys and stuff like that, so I guess it never really rang a bell with me what was going on. ” Truth is, Weathers issued only three walks. One to open the game, another in the fifth inning and the last in the seventh, which proved to be the last batter he faced.
After Adley Rutschman opened the seventh with a single up the middle to end Weathers' no-hit bid, Pete Alonso grounded out before Tyler O'Neill walked. Yankees manager Aaron Boone then summoned Brent Headrick from the bullpen, and Coby Mayo sent the lefty's third pitch into the left-field seats for a three-run homer. Final score: Orioles 3, Yankees 2.
