After two wet days in the Bronx, the New York Yankees rained home runs in the opening game of their doubleheader against the Orioles.
In a 5-3 loss Wednesday, Orioles right-hander David Hess was tagged for four long balls, including two from Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres. Hess has allowed 14 home runs this season, the most in the major leagues. As a staff, the Orioles have allowed a league-high 88.
Hess, originally scheduled to pitch Monday’s series opener before both that game and Tuesday night’s contest were rained out, surrendered three home runs among the first eight batters he faced.
