Leadoff single by Mullins to start the 5th and Cole’s night is over. Promising first outing Marinaccio in. What else is new Mullins steals 2nd.

[spuds1961]

There goes the crummy bullpen, Marinaccio gives up a 2 run homer to Urias and an error on an infield dribbler man on 2nd no outs and this one is getting away.

[spuds1961]

Well 4-1 after the orioles 5th. Marinaccio was not the guy tonight. 62 pitches for Cole and Boone came and got him. I understand the caution but he threw 83 pitches for n his last tune up.

[spuds1961]

Another Matt Blake mound counseling and yet another run scoring double. I swear what the hell is he telling these pitchers.

[spuds1961]

Soto walks with 2 outs in the 5th and the Orioles take Povich out. Only 1 hit but 5 walks did him in.

[spuds1961]

Well Stanton strikes out to end the 5th. If Judge ever goes down for any length of time even with Soto their offense is going to suck.

[spuds1961]

Victor Gonzalez pitching the 6th.

[spuds1961]

Gonzalez nice 6th.

[spuds1961]

D.J gets the Yankees 2nd hit of the game and the Orioles are changing pitchers again. 2 outs man on first and most likely Cabrera hitting for Rice.

[spuds1961]

Nope letting Rice hit against Perez.

[spuds1961]

Rice works a walk 1st and 2nd 2 outs Trevino up.

[spuds1961]

Trevino walks bases loaded. Jahmai Jones pinch hitting for Grisham.

[bbteamw]

Why swing at the first pitch if the previous batter walked on five pitches?

[spuds1961]

Small guy hit it, fly out to semi deep center field on the first pitch. So much for building up drama. 4-1 orioles after 6.

Agreed I would’ve figured he would take at least one.,

[spuds1961]

Henderson hit by pitch intentionally but it wasn’t fast enough as far as I am concerned. Blake with the mound visit, expect some runs this inning.

[Master Shake]

Seems like that would have been the Judge spot if he were available to pinch hit. He's either not as ok as he says or Boone is sticking to his guns. Hoping it's the latter.

[spuds1961]

I truly expect either Volpe, Soto or Stanton to get drilled next inning. With a 3 run lead at least the Orioles don’t have to worry about the tying run for a batter or two.

Judge still would’ve been better as a decoy as I don’t think Jahmai Jones put much fear in Perez. Well another stolen base and a misplay by Soto leads to it being 5-1. Batter credited with a double and a 1 base error.

[spuds1961]

Kahnle not pitching good lately either. The Yankees bullpen is not the advantage it once was.

[spuds1961]

Would be nice to see a rally.

[spuds1961]

Soto infield dribbler to the pitcher base hit. 1st and 2nd Stanton coming up.no outs.

[spuds1961]

Home Run Stanton we have a ballgame again 5-4 Orioles. Still no outs.

[spuds1961]

Damn it Verdugo would it have killed you to take a pitch.

[spuds1961]

Gleyber walks. Why does Lemahieu have to be the batter coming up.
