Yankees lose close game against O's 5-4

The Yankees were unable to take the series against the Orioles tonight as they were defeated 5-4 in a close game.

Masahiro Tanaka was impressive again tonight and if it wasn't for one hanging splitter, he would have pitched a gem. Tanaka allowed one three runs, in which they came from a three-run home run. He struck out a caree high ten batters tonight. 

The Yankee offense dug out of a early 3-0 hole to tie the game at three, but after the Orioles scored two in the ninth, the Yankees fell just short with just one in the ninth. 

The Yankees will begin a four game set with the Red Sox tomorrow night.

The Yankees were defeated by the Orioles 14-5 today and this was obviously their worst loss of the season.

Ivan Nova started and he struggled right from the game by allowing three runs in the first inning. Things would get worse from there as he departed after allowing seven runs. This is his second start of the season and he hopes to forget this one.

The Yankee offense showed signs of life throughout the game, but when they got back into it, the Yankee pitching would give up more runs.

The Yankees hope to forget this game and move on to the finale tomorrow night.
