After back-to-back rainouts on Monday and Tuesday night in New York, the Baltimore Orioles finally returned to the field Wednesday afternoon for a doubleheader against their American League East rival, the New York Yankees. Unfortunately, the excitement surrounding two games of baseball on a hump day quickly faded.
Once again, New York hitters feasted on Baltimore starting pitching, powering their way to five home runs in back-to-back victories for the Bronx Bombers, taking game one by a score of 5-3 and game two, 3-1.
David Hess fell to 1-5 on the year and raised his ERA to 5.
