NEW YORK -- Zack Britton's aspirations to be part of the Yankees' postseason roster may have taken yet another hit Friday night, after the veteran reliever was removed from New York's 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles with left arm fatigue after throwing a run-scoring wild pitch in the sixth inning.
Yankees starter Domingo German walked his first two batters in the sixth and retired Ryan Mountcastle on a groundout; Britton relieved and walked Gunnar Henderson, then threw a pitch to pinch-hitter Jesus Aguilar that went to the backstop, and he failed to cover the plate.
