NEW YORK -- Some nights, the Yankees' musclebound lineup might put opposing pitchers on the disabled list with whiplash. Some nights, it'll lose nearly as many balls in the stands as it does in batting practice.
Thursday wasn't one of those nights.
On yet another brutally cold evening, the Yankees' bats were held mostly in check as they lost, 5-2, to the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
With a first-pitch temperature of 42 degrees, neither team got on the board until the sixth inning. The Yankees high-powered offense was held to just four hits. It took a five-run seventh from Baltimore -- with Masahiro Tanaka at the end of his rope, and Chad Green unusually hittable -- to blow it open.
