NEW YORK – The home runs have been there for the Orioles since the break, but the situational hitting hasn't.
The Orioles dropped a 2-1 decision on Monday night at Yankee Stadium, another game that contained its share of failed scoring opportunities for the Orioles.
One day after allowing Rays starter Jake Odorizzi to safely navigate through early-inning trouble, the Orioles let Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova off the hook Monday night.
The Orioles not only had the leadoff man on base in each of the first three innings, they stranded the bases loaded against Nova in the first inning.
