Baltimore Orioles 5 — New York Yankees 0

 

With the 15-consecutive winning decisions on the line for Ivan Nova, the Yankees fell to the Baltimore Orioles by a score of 5-0.

 

Ivan Nova went 6.1 innings and was not able to escape jams like many are accustomed to. He allowed 5 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks, unusual for Nova who has been showing more control as his strikeout numbers have increased while his walks have decreased. Nova came into tonight’s game with 15-consecutive winning decisions; his last loss came in June 2011.

 

The Yankees offense did not show up to support Nova. Orioles starter Jake Arrieta went a career-best 8 innings and held the Yankees to 5 hits with no walks and 9 strikeouts. Alex Rodriguez managed to get 2 of the 5 hits tonight. The Yankees didn’t have a single runner reach second base so they didn’t have an at-bat with runners in scoring position. The offense was completely non-existent in this three-game series as they scored a total of 3 runs and they came on a solo home run and two-run home run in the previous games of this series.

 

Win – Jake Arrieta (2-2)

Loss – Ivan Nova (3-1)

 

Notable

Orioles

*Matt Wieters – 3 for 4, 2 R, BB, 2B, Solo Home Run (7) in the 4th, 2 RBI (17)

*Nick Markakis – 2 for 5, R, 2B, Solo Home Run (3) in the 7th, RBI (10)

Yankees

*Alex Rodriguez – 2 for 4

*Raul Ibanez – 1 for 3

 

Current Yankees Record: 13-11

Mariano Rivera injures knee shagging fly balls, carted off during batting practice

From this point forward, perhaps shagging fly balls in the outfield before a game should only be mandatory for pitchers who are under the age of 42. Maybe it isn’t exactly mandatory, but tracking down balls is something some of the Yankees players like to do to warm up and stay in shape. Yankees fans are now crossing their fingers the injury Mariano Rivera suffered while taking...

Mariano injury worse than cruelest joke

KANSAS CITY You're joking, right? This wasn't in the script. The script says Mariano Rivera walks away when he's good and ready, and not a minute sooner. And he doesn't walk, either. He sprints like a jackrabbit in spring and leaps straight into the arms of his teammates, who collectively hoist him onto their shoulders one last time. He's waving his cap in the...

Mariano Rivera Can’t Go Out Like This

Via With Leather  |  May 04, 2012
Love or hate the New York Yankees, you have to admit that Mariano Rivera is the greatest closer of all-time. Rivera, 42, was already putting together what could have been a swan song season to close out his career, as he’s recorded 5 saves in 6 chances, with a 1-1 record and 2.16 ERA. Instead, he could be going out more like a dying duck, as he’ll miss the rest of the season...
