The Yankees failed to hold off the Orioles in Game 4 on Thursday, losing 7-2 and ultimately dropping the series 1-3 and losing ground on first-place Baltimore along the way. Carlos Rodon crumbled against the Orioles offense, allowing six runs and eight hits, but still managing to escape a tricky bases-loaded jam at the bottom of the second inning.

Anthony Rizzo managed an RBI single and Gleyber Torres cracked off his first home run of the season for New York’s only runs of the night. Juan Soto also fired off a deep left field hit that escaped Colton Cowser’s glove for a triple, but with no one else on base, it did not convert any runs.

Now New York hosts the Tigers, who are 18-13 to start the season and third in the AL Central. Detroit is coming off a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals to cap off a 2-1 winning series.
