O's take beating in the Bronx with 13-5 loss (with quotes)

NEW YORK - If a starter falls on hard times in the Bronx and doesn't make a sound, did it really happen?

Left-hander Wade Miley turned in the shortest outing of his career tonight, allowing six runs and retiring only one batter, and the Orioles suffered another embarrassing defeat to the Yankees, 13-5, before an announced crowd of 37,128.

The PA system was on the fritz until Miley was on the bench, his 19th and final pitch resulting in Todd Frazier's three-run homer. Miley faced seven batters and surrendered six hits. Matt Holliday grounded out, but Aaron Judge scored on the play.

Judge hit three-run homers off Mike Wright in the fourth inning and Richard Rodríguez in the sixth, making him 25-for-53 against the Orioles this season with four doubles, 11 home runs, 24 RBIs, 19 walks and 14 strikeouts.

One night after ending their six-game losing streak, the Orioles (72-75) took another beating in the Bronx. They were outscored 38-8 on June 9-11 while being swept in a three-game series, and the rotation has posted an 11.64 ERA in 53 1/3 innings at Yankee Stadium this season following Miley's brief appearance.

The Orioles are 6-10 against the Yankees this season, including 1-6 away from home, where they've been outscored 81-35 and have surrendered 26 home runs. It seems almost impossible to do.

Gary Sánchez followed Judge's second home run tonight with a solo shot to give the Yankees a 13-2 lead. Joey Rickard and Caleb Joseph had RBI doubles off the bench in the eighth and Chance Sisco led off the ninth against reliever Giovanny Gallegos with his first major league home run.

Miley lasted only two-thirds of an inning against the White Sox on May 5 at Camden Yards, but he left after being struck by two line drives. He was hit harder tonight.

Jacoby Ellsbury and Judge singled and Sánchez delivered an RBI double. Holliday followed with his grounder and Sánchez scored on Chase Headley's single for a 3-0 lead.

Didi Gregorius singled, Wright began to throw in the Orioles' bullpen and Frazier homered into the Yankees' bullpen.

Seven batters and 19 pitches, and Miley's ERA rose from 4.96 to 5.32.

Meanwhile, Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka needed only seven pitches to dispose of the Orioles in the top of the first.

Jonathan Schoop led off the top of the fourth inning with his 32nd home run to reduce the lead to 6-1 and Trey Mancini homered in the sixth, his 24th, to make it 9-2. But the Yankees weren't done flexing.

Schoop has five career hits off Tanaka and three are home runs. But Wright followed up a scoreless second and third inning by allowing the first two batters to reach in the fourth, and Judge launched the first of his two homers.

Judge has passed Curtis Granderson (2012) for most home runs in a single season at the new Yankee Stadium with 27.

There were no player introductions or anthem due to the PA malfunction, a tribute to Gene Michael was postponed and the game didn't start until 7:12 p.m. The Orioles are used to delays, large and small, but this was a new one.

Lineup cards were exchanged at home plate and Tanaka warmed while Tim Beckham stood near the on-deck circle. Fans provided the soundtrack, but no sing-along to replace the anthem. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Also, no annoying whistle after Beckham struck out.

Austin Hays replaced Adam Jones in center field in the bottom of the sixth inning. Sisco doubled off Tanaka in the seventh for his first major league hit, but Hays struck out to strand two runners.

Beckham was the only starting position player remaining in the game by the bottom of the seventh inning. Pedro Álvarez pinch-hit for Mark Trumbo in the eighth.

The regular season is down to 15 games. The Orioles have lost seven of eight and eight of 10. They're 4-10 since their seven-game winning streak.

No PA system is needed to hear a team gasping for air.

Manager Buck Showalter on Miley: "Just never got it going. They jumped on him quick and just could never get in step. A little frustrating. He's been throwing the ball pretty good for us, but it wasn't enough tonight. We couldn't keep the ball in the park, period, with everybody. Some of the young kids. They had a good opportunity there.

"Mike was having a pretty good outing until the one pitch. But you're trying to go down and away and a ball's middle in, you're trying to throw a breaking ball a little off the plate and it's center cut, those balls are going to end up in the seats."

Showalter on rough losses here: "We're not pitching well. I mean, you go back through and it's been ... We've gotten a lot of balls in places that we knew not to get them and we got them and you pay the price for it. You make the pitches that we're making against those guys, everybody's going to hit them at this level and they're going to go a long way. I was watching the replays of where we are trying to go and where the ball went. Just not going to work up here."

Showalter on Sisco: "Facing a guy who throws about 30 percent fastballs, we knew it and didn't make much of an adjustment. He did against a good pitcher and he'll remember that and followed up with a home run. I like how calm and quiet he's catching. Regardless of how the game was, you do take it as a special moment for him. I got the lineup card for him and I want him to feel good about that part of it. It was good to see. I was glad to get him out there."

Miley on whether he knew in bullpen that he'd struggle: "No, I felt really, really good going in. I don't know. It happened real fast. I really did, I felt really good going in. I had a good bullpen session. I thought I made some pretty decent pitches. They just jumped all over me. I tried a few different pitches. Everything I threw up there they hammered."

Miley on whether the outing snowballed: "I only faced, what, six hitters? I don't know if that's snowballing. They just hit everything I threw."

Miley on whether it's more upsetting because of lateness of season: "Of course. You can't go out there and lay an egg like that. I've got to give us a chance and I didn't. It just hurts more, every game right now what we don't get in the win column hurts right now. A first-inning six spot doesn't help.

"It was very exciting. Definitely would like to have it in a better outcome in a game for us. It's still exciting, very exciting. Something I look forward to, getting those AB's and getting the first hit out of the way. Second at-bat, a lot more comfortable. Just going up, trying to find a good pitch to hit and put the barrel on to it."

Sisco on importance of calmness behind the plate: "Absolutely, I know that, too. My main focus is to put up zeroes behind the plate and if you can't do that, at least make it as clean as possible and just have fun with the at-bats. Whatever comes there is a little extra right now."

Sisco on opportunities: "Definitely gives me a little bit of confidence knowing that you can compete at the level. You always have that confidence coming in here that you think you can, but when it's said and done, it's competition time and you see what happens."

Sisco on reception from veterans: "It was awesome. They were all in the dugout and they were all saying 'congrats.' It means a lot to me that they'd take the time to (come to) me and say 'congrats,' so it means a lot."
