In the first of seven games with the New York Yankees in the next 10 days, the Baltimore Orioles fell to the Bombers by a final score of 9-6 Monday night.
With the loss, the Orioles have now lost 10 in a row to their AL East rivals from the Bronx. However, the Orioles did not go down without a fight as at one point they erased a fight run deficit to tie the game.
The Yankees struck first blood as in the second inning Austin Romine hit a line drive home run to left field to put New York up 1-0.
