NEW YORK -- This time, it was Chad Green.
The typically reliable Green had entered to keep things close. Instead, he got smacked around -- something that's happened to the Yankees' bullpen far more often, and far earlier, than most expected.
Green coughed up two runs in the Yankees' 5-2 loss to the Orioles at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night.
Manager Aaron Boone had tasked with holding a 2-1 disadvantage when Boone brought Green into the game with one out and a runner on first with an out in the seventh inning.
