BALTIMORE -- Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge struggled to come up with a good answer Tuesday night when he was asked why his powerhouse club has so much trouble with the worst-in-baseball Baltimore Orioles.
"I wish I knew," Judge said after a 6-5 walk-off loss at Oriole Park left the Yankees 4-5 this season against the 26-66 Orioles. "If we knew, we'd be able to stop them."
A day after splitting a Monday doubleheader with the Orioles, the Yankees built a 5-3 seventh-inning lead and then lost on a ninth-inning, two-out, walk-off single by Jonathan Schoop that deflected off first baseman Greg Bird's glove.
