The New York Yankees are swept in a doubleheader



The New York Yankees lost twice to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.  The games took place at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland and the final scores were 2-1 in 11 innings and 5-0.  Brandon McCarthy started game one and pitched great and the bullpen was good but Adam Warren blew the save.  In game two Bryan Mitchell made his first start of the season and pitched pretty well.  The bullpen was ok but David Phelps struggled with control in his return from injury.  The offense scored only one run in 20 innings of baseball. 

McCarthy pitched seven shutout innings only giving up four hits.  He walked none and struck out six.  Dellin Betances pitched 1 1/3 innings walking two batters and striking out two batters, David Robertson pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up two walks and he struck out two and Warren pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up one hit and two runs with two walks and a strikeout.  Warren lost his sixth game of the season and blew his third save of the season.  In the second game Mitchell pitched five innings giving up six hits and two runs.  He walked two and struck out two and took his first loss of the season.  Josh Outman pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout, Phelps pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up a hit and two runs with three walks and a strikeout and Rich Hill retired the only batter that he faced.  Chaz Roe pitched an inning giving up a hit and a run with two strikeouts. 

Bud Norris earned his 13th win of the season in the second game.  He pitched seven innings giving up three hits and no runs.  He walked two and struck out ten.  Tommy Hunter pitched an inning giving up a hit and Brian Matusz pitched a perfect inning with a couple of strikeouts.  In the first game Kevin Gausman pitched seven innings giving up seven hits and no runs.  He walked two and struck out seven.  Andrew Miller pitched an inning and struck out the side, Darren O'Day pitched a perfect inning with a couple of strikeouts and Zach Britton pitched an inning walking one and striking out one.  Brad Brach won his seventh game of the season pitching an inning and giving up two hits and a run. 

In the first game the Orioles only managed five hits but won with two runs in the 11th.  The Yankees only run came on a Chris Young homerun in the 11th.  They were one out away from winning when the game winning two run single was hit by Jimmy Paredes.  In game two the Yankees only managed four hits.  Nelson Cruz had two hits and Delmon Young had two RBI for the Orioles. 

In the fourth Ryan Flaherty hit an RBI double and Alejandro De Aza hit an RBI triple to give the Orioles a 2-0 lead.  In the seventh Young hit an two run single to increase the lead to 4-0.  The Orioles would add one more run in the eighth on a De Aza RBI triple.  The two teams will play game three of four on Saturday afternoon.
