Beleaguered starter Jorge López carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, albeit with five walks, and with the help of four early home runs he and the Orioles beat the Yankees, 7-1, Monday at Yankee Stadium to spoil New York’s first home game since their trade deadline additions.
López, who completed six innings for the second time all season and the first since May 31, didn’t look fated to make it that far early as he walked three, hit a batter, and balked in the first two innings. But he kept the Yankees off the board until a pair of walks and a sacrifice fly prevented the shutout in the fifth, and didn’t allow a hit until a leadoff double by Joey Gallo in the sixth inning.
