Rookie right-hander Randy Vásquez had another excellent outing, holding his opponent scoreless for five innings in his third career start, but a typically reliable Yankees bullpen faltered — aided by a costly defensive miscue — and their lineup was unable to generate any consistent offense against Dean Kremer, resulting in a 6-3 comeback win for the visitors. The Yankees drop back to 48-39 on the season, while the Orioles improve to 50-35.
The action started slowly tonight, as Vásquez skated skillfully around trouble over his first three innings, keeping the Orioles off the board despite putting multiple runners on in both the first and third inning.
