This game captured everything that’s going wrong with the Yankees of late. Masahiro Tanaka got clobbered, the offense couldn’t capitalize on big opportunities, and the bullpen wore down. That’s been the month of May in a nutshell. This time it cost the Yankees the series, as the Bombers fell to the Orioles by a score of 10 - 4. Yikes.
After two easy innings, Tanaka unraveled in the third. A pair of one-out singles by J.J. Hardy and Seth Smith set up Adam Jones, who crushed a booming RBI double.
