Yankees waste Ben Rice's 3-run blast, implode in 9th in brutal loss to Orioles

BALTIMORE -- Cedric Mullins hit a two-run double in the ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 6-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Sunday -- after an error by shortstop Anthony Volpe kept the two-out rally going.

The Yankees actually made two defensive misplays in the ninth. Mullins' liner appeared catchable, but left fielder Alex Verdugo started in at first and couldn't recover well enough to prevent the ball from going over him.

Ben Rice hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth off Craig Kimbrel (6-2) to put the Yankees up 5-3, but New York's closer couldn't hold a lead either.
