After orchestrating several narrow escapes from danger while clinging to a one-run lead for most of the game, Bryan Baker allowed three runs in the eighth as the Orioles (33-43) lost to the Yankees 4-2 on Sunday to drop their series in the Bronx.

Judge went 4-for-10 against the Orioles, but in his past 11 games, he is batting .189 — dropping his season average from .394 to .367 — with 20 strikeouts, two homers, two RBIs and three runs scored.

The Orioles won’t have to linger too long on yesterday’s demoralizing loss to the Yankees. They’re back in action before lunchtime today, squaring off in the 11:35 rubber game airing on Roku TV. It’s the Orioles’ first morning game of the season but not their last; they’ll play another 11:35 game in Atlanta two weeks from today.
