Yankees 3, Orioles 4: Early deficit too much to overcome in Baltimore
Briefly

In a challenging game, the Yankees fell 4-3 to the Orioles, with Tomoyuki Sugano delivering an impressive performance on the mound, achieving a career-high in strikeouts. Despite mounting a late rally, the Yankees’ early struggles offensively were insurmountable. Sugano, usually a command specialist, demonstrated an unexpected dominance, leveraging improved velocity and effective pitches against both right-handed and left-handed batters. On the other hand, Will Warren faced difficulties early on, allowing key runs that ultimately led to the Yankees' defeat.
Some nights are just one of those nights, and that's how you felt like, watching the Yankees in this 4-3 loss. Things started off pretty poorly as the offense got mowed down by Tomoyuki Sugano in a manner that no other big league club has this season.
Sugano... was coming off two seven-inning appearances... and against the best offense in the American League, the veteran right-hander upped his game a notch and came within one strikeout of tying his season total coming into the game.
