06/28: Yankees Shut Out by Orioles, 4-0
Posted by: Patrick
No offense. No offense at all. 5 hits and 1 walk. No Yankee had 2 hits - Jeter, Matsui, A-Rod, Posada and Cabrera each had 1 - and no Yankee had an extra base hit. We struck out 10 times.
Meanwhile, they struck out 0 times. That said, if you throw out the 6th inning, they had 0 runs, 3 hits and 2 walks. However, all innings count and the 6th was where they did all of their damage. Coming into the inning, Clemens had pitched 5 innings scoreless. However, in the 6th, he didn't get an out until the 5th batter. Chris Gomez singled to start it off and then Clemens walked Nick Markakis. Ramon Hernandez singled for the first run of the game for either side and then Aubrey Huff followed with a 3 run homer. Clemens then got 3 of the next 4 batters out to get out of the inning. He was relieved by Brian Bruney and Mo, each of which threw a hitless, scoreless inning. Clemens record is now 1-3 with a 5.32 ERA.
Thanks to a walk off double by Jose Lopez in the 11th that gave the Mariners a 2-1 win over the Red Sox, we're still at 11 games back in the division. Oakland beat Cleveland, so we remain at 8 games back in the wild card, as well. Boston is off today and we have Wang (7-4, 3.51) going up against Daniel Cabrera (6-8, 4.98) at 7:05 PM ET. We actually have to give Wang some runs to work with to end this 4 game slide, though.
