BALTIMORE – Camden can’t even go on a trip to the Yards, which could harm this Yankee team.
After witnessing their three-game winning streak played in Cleveland on Sunday, the Yanks were back in the final spot in the AL East with a 4–2 loss to the Orioles on Monday night.
The Yankees had a chance to top the eighth, but Aaron Judge finished third in Geo Urshela’s RBI single.
The hit would have scored a second run, but the umpires ruled that the judge was ruled out before DJ Lehmahu crossed the plate, which would have got the Yankees within one run.
Aaron Boone argued the call and, after being knocked out of the dugout, was evicted by first base umpire Greg Gibson.
This saved the manager from seeing the end of another disappointing performance by his team, which was closed for six innings by Matt Harvey.
The former Met made his best debut in years, making just one run in six innings. And Cedric Mullins hit a pair of homers and a double hit for Baltimore.
The place the Yankees recently won at 18 has now lost four consecutive games that came back last season.
The game did not take long for the Yankees to go the wrong way.
Devi Garcia, in her first start of the season, did not give the Yankees the lift she expected after being called from an alternate venue in Skivan.
Mullerin unloaded from Garcia at a speed of 92 mph on his second pitch of the game for a homer, reaching Utaw Street beyond the seats.
Garcia retired the next three in the first, but issued a one-and-out to Pedro Severino in the second. Two batters later, Freddie Galvis drilled double-left-center, scoring Serino first and giving Baltimore a 2–0 lead. Galvis left the game after an apparent injury.
Harvey returned the clock for the Orioles, and belittled the Yankees for the first five innings.
A one-out walk for Giancarlo Stanton was erased by a judge double play, and Harvey pitched around a unilateral flare by Gio Urshella and a walk by Gleiber Torres in the second.
Harvey retired 11 straight after Torres walked, before the right-hander finally faltered in the sixth.
Garcia had not made it this far.
Battling from fourth to 21 years old, two outs by Ryan Mountcastle and a walk by Ruiz, Raman Urias got a swing after batting on a nine-pitch.
The night ended after Garcia’s 65 pitches saw the Yankees face the lineup for the third time.
Lucas Luetge entered and gave Mullins a double to open the fifth. Luetge agreed to get the next three batsmen.
The Yankees eventually finished sixth at Harvey, with Clint Frazier leading the walk.
Harvey received a double play from Lemahieu, but Stanton crushed the left-field line for a double, the second hit by the Yankees of the night.
Judge gave up another tough double to drive at Staunton to get the Yankees within 2–1.
With Harvey on the ropes, Roggan Audor ran to the left.
Darren O’Day came in the sixth and allowed a run on a balk and Justin Wilson gave Mullins his second homer of the seventh house of the night.
The Yanks came back in the eighth against left-handed Tanner Scott, who drove one loaded bases with one out.
But Scott outclassed Odor, who delivered some big hits for the Yankees this season, one for the other.
Fazier, the right-handed Cesar Valdez, came on to face Urshela, who singled from the left. But with LeMahieu about to score easily, Judge inexplicably tried to get third and was thrown out by a mile.
