BALTIMORE — Due to a viral illness early last week, Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers had to wait four extra days between his seventh and eighth start of the season.
The time off, or losing nine pounds in two days, clearly didn’t slow him down.
Pitching on nine days rest, Weathers was no-hittting the Orioles on Monday night at Oriole Park until Adley Rutschman led off the home seventh with a single past second baseman Jazz Chisholm into right field.
From there, everything unraveled for the Yankees, whose 2-0 lead turned into a 3-2 deficit by the end of the inning when Coby Mayo homered with two on off reliever Brent Headrick.
After the Orioles’ first hit, Weathers retired Peto Alonso on a groundball to second that advanced Rutschman to second, but walked Tyler O’Neill to put the tying run on base.
With his pitch until to 101, Weathers was pulled by manager Aaron Boone.
Throwing all sliders to Mayo, Headrick missed low with a ball and got a called strike before a pitch at the knees was clubbed over the left-field wall for a 3-2 Orioles lead.
And that’s the way it ended, as the Yankees went down quietly with Rico Garcia working the eighth and rookie Anthony Munoz pitching the ninth.
Ryan McMahon flied out to the right-field wall for the second out in the Yankees ninth. Paul Goldschmidt started a rally with a hit to right, but Jose Caballero was inserted as a pinch-runner and thrown out stealing to end the game.
This has been a terrible two-city roadtrip for the Yankees, who arrived in Baltimore after being swept three games last weekend in Milwaukee, the last two walk-off losses.
Weathers, who struck out nine and walked two, wound up with a 6 1/3-inning, two-run no-decision.
The Yankees built a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a two-run homer to left-center field by Ben Rice, his 13th;
Rice’s 13th homer of the season was an opposite-field blast to left-center center after Trent Grisham worked a one-out walk off Orioles starter Brandon Young.
Weathers began his outing by walking Orioles leadoff hitter Taylor Ward, then retired 13 in a row before Mayo walked with one out in the fifth inning.
Weathers has a very good 3.00 ERA, but his spot in the rotation long-term is far from guaranteed.
Former Cy Young Gerrit Cole probably is two or three rehab starts away from returning from March 2025 Tommy John surgery, and when that occurs the Yankees likely will move right-hander Will Warren or Weathers to the bullpen to open up a rotation spot.
Max Fried, Carlos Rodon and Cam Schlittler hold the other spots.
The big news before the game was Caballero not being in the lineup due to a sore right middle finger that occurred on a pickoff throw at first base in the ninth inning of Sunday’s game in Milwaukee.
Caballero was scheduled to return to New York after Monday’s game for an MRI and exam on Tuesday.
