Not even a visit from last-place Baltimore could get the Yankees going.
Baltimore tied the game against Max Fried in the sixth and went ahead for good in the eighth with a pair of runs off Luke Weaver, as the Yankees lost for the seventh time in eight games, 5-3, in The Bronx.
The Yankees had plenty of opportunities to put some distance between themselves and the Orioles, but they squandered scoring chances throughout the game.
And with Baltimore playing better under new manager Tony Mascolino- who replaced the fired Brandon Hyde in May- the Yankees paid for their mistakes.
Despite being in the cellar in the AL East, Baltimore entered Friday 17-14 under Mansolino after they opened the season 15-28 under Hyde.

The Orioles also entered having won 16 of their previous 24 games.
In front of a sellout crowd at the Stadium, the Yankees — whose offense went silent for much of the six-game losing streak they snapped on Thursday against the Angels — couldn’t break the game open.
