The Baltimore Orioles sent Jorge Lopez to the mound Saturday night in hopes of forcing a rubber game on Sunday. The 28-year old struggled in this start and threw 70 pitches in the first two innings and did not make it into the third inning.
Lopez’s first inning consisted of loading the bases with no outs and allowing one run to score on a passed ball before Gary Sanchez knocked in two runs on single to centerfield to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead.
