Tanaka falters in seventh, bats go silent as Yankees fall to O’s

Modal Trigger

Masahiro Tanaka

After two straight wins over the Rays, the Yankees faced the Orioles, who had lost five consecutive games after an Opening Day victory, on Thursday night.

What could go wrong?

Enough for the Yankees to lose 5-2 on another chilly night in The Bronx.

Masahiro Tanaka, who cruised through the first six innings, faltered in the seventh and allowed a game-altering two-run homer to Adam Jones.

Chad Green, one of the few bright spots in a bullpen that has yet to find its groove, had a terrible outing.
