An Orioles bullpen that must now overcome the loss of another key reliever was exposed Friday night, unable to keep the game close in the late innings in an eventual 8-2 loss to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
The Orioles bullpen allowed five runs, including three unearned runs in the seventh off newcomer Edwin Jackson, who allowed the second of Aaron Hicks’ two homers on the night.
The team’s offense didn’t help, its only runs coming on Jonathan Schoop’s two-run homer in the second inning. The Orioles only had one hit after the second inning.
