Ubaldo Jimenez struggles again, Orioles fall 12-4 to Yankees

The Orioles came to Yankee Stadium with a one-game division lead over the resurgent New York Yankees. But after two meetings in the Bronx this weekend, the Orioles have been knocked off their first-place perch in the American League East while being delivered a pair of numbing road losses.

The Orioles (14-8) dropped the second game of their three-game series with the Yankees, 12-4, losing their first series this season after winning six and splitting one of their first seven series.

The Yankees (15-7) chased right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez from the game in the fourth inning, in part because of a two homers by left fielder Brett Gardner as the Yankees ran out to a 7-0 lead.
