Orlando Hernández pitched a stellar one-run complete game, but the Yankees fell short due to lackluster offensive performance and an injury to Derek Jeter. After a previous night of rain postponing the game, Jeter strained his abdominal muscle while preparing. Although he started the game, he left early after showing discomfort. The Yankees had opportunities but could not capitalize, highlighted by a near home run from Clay Bellinger that was thwarted by a spectacular catch. The loss was disappointing to the defending champions, now holding a record of 22-10.
