Yanks Spank O's

The Birds were embarrassed in a 15-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday night at Camden Yards...and I was there to witness the slaughter (and this guy...I promised a shirtless Yankee fan that I'd post this picture since his team won).

The Yankees launched five home runs, including a grand slam, as they dropped the Orioles into the cellar in the AL East for the first time this season.

Brad Bergesen took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks while fanning four. Bergesen (0-3) allowed three runs in the first inning but managed to keep the Yankees off the board before surrendering another three runs in the sixth.

The O's were held scoreless until Adam Jones slapped his team-leading fourth homer in the bottom of the sixth to put the game within reach...at least for a few minutes.

The O's bullpen gave up nine runs over the final two frames, as the Yankees connected for back-to-back home runs off Jason Berken to start off the eighth inning before A-Rod launched a grand slam off Josh Rupe. Four of the Yankees' five homers came in the final two innings...

The Birds have yet to beat New York this season, and send Jake Arrieta to the mound for the finale on Sunday afternoon.
