The Yankees spanked the Orioles this afternoon, a humbling 13-3 defeat at Yankee Stadium.
Dennis Sarfate's first MLB start wasn't horrific, but he still took the loss. Sarfate went four innings and allowed just two hits, but was charged with five runs (three earned). He struck out five but walked three; all three walks crossed the plate...
The bullpen couldn't keep it close, giving up eight runs in the final four frames. Brian Burres, whom Sarfate replaced in the rotation, surrendered four runs in just an inning and a third...
The offense never really found a rhythm against starter Joba Chamberlain, and finished with just three runs off six hits. Nick Markakis and Aubrey Huff each had an RBI, and shortstop Juan Castro smacked his first homer of the season (I believe the first home run from an O's shortstop all year).
Not a bad series in NY; two out of three against the Yankees is really all you can ask for. The O's are off tomorrow, and resume play Friday night against the struggling Seattle Mariners...
