Miguel Andujar had two chances to give the Yankees the lead on Saturday.
But the third baseman, who quickly became a vital part of the offense as a rookie a year ago, wasn’t able to deliver in a 5-3 loss to Baltimore in The Bronx.
The day got off to a rough start for Andujar, serving as the DH with DJ LeMahieu making the start at third.
Andujar came up with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the first against Baltimore right-hander Nate Karns, serving as an opener.
Following three straight walks to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit, Andujar hit a hard comebacker that Karns snared and turned into an inning-ending double play.
