Game 9 - Yanks Threaten Late; Fall Short

The Yankees lost 4-2 tonight to the Baltimore Orioles. Down 4-1 entering the 7th inning, Brett Gardner closed the gap with an RBI single, scoring Chris Young. After Chase Headley walked to load the bases with two out, Mark Teixeira worked the count full, but harmlessly popped out to third to end the threat.

The Yanks would threaten again in the 8th. Carlos Beltran and Alex Rodriguez led off the inning with walks. After Brian McCann popped out, the manager made a couple of questionable decisions that may have cost the team. With right-hander Webb on the mound, Chris Young (also a righty) was due up. Despite hot-hitting Jacoby Ellsbury sitting on the bench, he chose to let Young hit, who promptly struck out. After Stephen Drew walked (also a righty with lefty Didi Gregorius on the bench), Brendan Ryan flied out to end the bases loaded threat.

In the ninth inning, Brett Gardner led off with a double to left center. After Chase Headley was called out on strikes, Mark Teixeira walked, putting the tying run on base. Carlos Beltran nearly ended the game on a ground ball to 2nd, but he was barely able to beat the throw after Teixeira was forced out at second. Alex Rodriguez would end the game when he harmlessly flied out to right.

With the loss, the Yankees fall to 6-3, but still lead the Orioles and Rays by a game in the AL East.
