Chris Davis on CC Sabathia; Tyler Wilson on his outing tonight

The Orioles could not get it going tonight against 35-year-old left-hander CC Sabathia in a 7-0 loss to the Yankees. He gave up six hits over seven innings to improve to 2-2 with an ERA of 3.81.

This was Sabathia's first scoreless outing of seven or more innings since April 7, 2013 at Detroit. The O's Chris Davis talked about the lack of offense against him tonight.

"Extremely difficult," Davis said of trying to get hits off the veteran Sabathia. "I think over the years he has really had to pitch more and he knows how to pitch. You don't stay in this game that long not being able to pitch. You tip your hat and move forward."

The Orioles had chances tonight and hit into three double plays. They are 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position in this series after beginning the series leading the league with an average of .317 with runners in scoring position.

"That has kind of been the way things have been going for us lately," Davis said. "We've had a few games where we scored early, but for the most part, you know, we are just not getting the job done when we have runners in scoring position.

"We just need to stay the course. We're playing really good ball defensively. We're throwing the ball well and keeping ourselves in the game. We all know the bats will heat up when it warms up a little bit.

"The weather right now is tough for everybody. We have to remember it's a long season and these are the games that test you early on. But later in the season, I think they pay off."

This was the first Yankees shutout of the Orioles since Sept. 22, 2014 in New York and first in Baltimore since July 12, 2014. The O's have been shut out twice this year, also on April 25 by Tampa Bay.

Right-hander Tyler Wilson matched zeroes with Sabathia for five innings but then gave up three runs in the sixth to fall to 1-1 with a 3.04 ERA.

"I felt good physically and strong," Wilson said. "Another opportunity to go a little deeper in the game is a positive to take away. Got the leadoff there in the sixth and then they strung a couple of hits together and they hit some good pitches. That is a veteran lineup. I look back and try to learn from everything that happened and will do that moving forward."

That three-run sixth included Wilson's own throwing error past first base that allowed the third run to score.

"That is probably the thing that upsets me most about the outing," Wilson said. "There is no real excuse for that. I had a good grip and then just threw it into the ground. Did everything the way we practice it, just didn't execute. That is 100 percent on me."

Wilson was asked about pitching in a game where his team did not score him any runs.

"I don't think it changes a lot," he said. "In baseball, you have to play the cards the game deals you. What we are doing on offense doesn't dictate the pace or my approach when we are on the mound. I was trying to do everything to get us back in the dugout. In the sixth, I needed to do a better job getting us to the dugout sooner to give them a chance to put some runs on the board."

By the way, Davis had what looked like a large ice pack on his left hand/thumb when doing the interview tonight. When asked about it, he joked with reporters. So from that, we'll take it this was not another injury to be concerned about for now.
