Brent Headrick surrendered a three-run homer to Coby Mayo in the seventh, turning a 2-0 Yankees lead into a 3-2 loss at Camden Yards.
Ryan Weathers had carried a no-hit bid into the seventh in his first start since an illness, striking out nine over 6 1/3 innings before Adley Rutschman singled and a walk ended his night.
The Yankees' offense again stalled, managing five hits, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and getting both runs from Ben Rice's third-inning homer.
The skid reached four games with New York scoring just eight runs in that span, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. fell to a .201 average and Boone said several hitters are pressing.
José Caballero, cleared to pinch-run despite an injured right middle finger and set for an MRI Tuesday, made the final out when Baltimore threw him out stealing second.
After another pitching gem was wasted, are the Yankees' offensive struggles a temporary slump or a fatal flaw in their championship aspirations?
Was this comeback win a fluke, or the first sign that Baltimore's offseason overhaul has truly shifted the AL East power balance?
