Despite injuries, the New York Yankees have a stacked lineup, but the bats were nowhere to be found on Saturday. The Yanks squandered an early opportunity to jump in front when Baltimore Orioles starter Nate Karns walked three batters in succession.
Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Luke Voit all walked and the table was set for Miguel Andujar. But The O’s managed to avoid a repeat of Opening Day. Karns induced a ground ball leading to a 1-2-3 double play.
Paxton was lights out through five innings. However, things fell apart in the sixth inning after back-to-back singles opened the frame.
