The Yankees fell to the Orioles 6-3 in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. >> Box score
Five things to know from Friday's Game 2
1. In just his second career start, Deivi Garcia had a 1-2-3 first inning after getting Cedric Mullens to ground out and then striking out DJ Stewart and Renato Nunez.
Garcia got into some trouble in the second inning, allowing the first home run of his career to Ryan Mountcastle, which gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead.
Garcia finished the night after allowing four runs on five hits, while striking out six and walking two over 95 pitches and 4.2 innings of work.
2. After a Tyler Wade single in the top of the third inning, Wade found himself at third base after a wild pitch and throwing error. The Yanks then made it a 2-1 game thanks to a Thairo Estrada groundout RBI.
3. Brett Gardner walked to start the fourth inning, and moved all the way to third after Miguel Andujar reached base on a throwing error. Erik Kratz then drove in both runs on a line drive to left field, giving the Yankees a 3-2 lead.
4. The Orioles took the lead back with a four-run bottom of the fifth inning. Mountcastle tied the game with an RBI single, followed by another RBI hit from Rio Ruiz to make it a 4-3 Baltimore lead. The big blow came from Pat Valaika, who doubled in a pair to make it 6-3. All of those RBI hits came off of Clarke Schmidt, who got hit around in his MLB debut. It was a tough spot for Schmidt to make his debut, but the Orioles jumped all over him. Schmidt pitched 1.1 innings, allowing two runs on three hits.
5. The first five batters in the Yankees' order -- Aaron Hicks, Luke Voit, Brett Gardner, Clint Frazier, and Mike Ford -- went hitless on the night.
What's next
The Yankees and Orioles will continue their series on Saturday night at 7:35 pm. Gerrit Cole gets the start for the Yanks, while Keegan Akin will take the mound for the O's.
