Walks, long ball hand Orioles first loss of the season

Welcome back to earth, folks.

The Orioles were riding high after a three game sweep in Fenway park to start the season. Unfortunately, the Yankees delivered a heavy dose of reality to the Birds this evening.

The Yankees scored twice on a solo shot and four consecutive walks, but Giancarlo Stanton broke the game open with a moonshot in the fifth. To be fair, the four consecutive walks were probably an ominous sign. Regardless, the Yankees dominated Baltimore in a 7-0 victory.

Orioles starter Jorge López matched zeros with Yankees hurler Jordan Montgomery through the first four innings, but Montgomery never relinquished his grasp of the game.
