Weathers loses no-hitter in 7th before Mayo’s 3-run homer carries Orioles to 3-2 win over Yankees

BALTIMORE (AP) — Ryan Weathers took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, then gave up a single before Coby Mayo hit a three-run homer off reliever Brent Headrick to lift the Baltimore Orioles over the New York Yankees 3-2 on Monday night.

Weathers lost his no-hit bid when Adley Rutschman opened the seventh with a bouncer up the middle. After Tyler O’Neill drew a one-out walk, Yankees manager Aaron Boone brought in Headrick (3-1).

Mayo, who came into the game with a .158 batting average, hit Headrick’s third pitch into the left-field seats.

Weathers struck out nine and walked three. He threw 101 pitches.

Dietrich Enns (1-0) got the win in relief of starter Brandon Young, and rookie Anthony Nunez got three outs for his second save.

After Ryan McMahon hit a drive that O’Neill caught with his back to the right-field wall for the second out in the ninth, Paul Goldschmidt singled before pinch-runner José Caballero was thrown out attempting to steal second.

Caballero — who did not start because of a finger injury — was initially called safe, but a replay review overturned the call and ended the game.

Ben Rice hit a two-run homer in the third for the Yankees, who have lost four straight.

New York registered a four-game sweep of the Orioles at Yankee Stadium earlier this month, outscoring Baltimore 39-10.

Up next

Will Warren (4-1, 3.46 ERA) starts for New York on Tuesday night. Baltimore hopes to start lefty Trevor Rogers (2-3, 4.75), who’s been on the 15-day injured list (illness) since April 26.

Yankees lefty Max Fried pulled from his start at Baltimore after only 3 innings with a sore elbow

BALTIMORE (AP) — Max Fried's performance was shaky again — and now the New York Yankees have to worry about his elbow. Fried was pulled from Wednesday's 7-0 loss at Baltimore after only three innings because of elbow soreness. The three-time All-Star is expected to get scanned and be examined Thursday by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad in New York. “Just a little uncomfortable, tight, especially in between innings,” Fried said. “It's hard for me to kind of warm up, loosen up. The first hitter of the inning would be like 88, 90, 91. And by the end — fourth, fifth hitter, 20 pitches in — I'm able to kind of get things loosened up.” Fried headed straight up the tunnel after Baltimore scored twice in the third inning, and the Yankees had Paul Blackburn warming in the bullpen while batting in the fourth. Fried allowed three runs and five hits, throwing just 34 of 61 pitches for strikes and going to three balls on five of 13 batters.
