BALTIMORE — The New York Yankees still may host the AL wild-card game.
Wherever they play it, they will have to execute better to reach the next round of the playoffs.
New York failed to clinch home field twice Saturday, getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles 9-2 and 4-3 in a day-night doubleheader.
With the Yankees needing one win to host Tuesday's one-game playoff against Houston, the Los Angeles Angels or Texas, reliever Dellin Betances allowed the go-ahead run in the second game on his second wild pitch of the eighth inning. The Orioles roughed up Ivan Nova in the opener.
