Orioles recap: Birds blasted again by Yankees, 13-5, to fall three games out of first place

Bundy (7-5), coming off a strong start Monday against the Washington Nationals, was done in by walks in the first inning and four straight two-out hits in the third inning. It was 4-2 Yankees when rookie Gary Sanchez, who has set New York alight since coming up earlier this month, tomahawked a high-and-away fastball into the right-field seats to make it 5-2 in the fourth.

"He's pitched well, and just could never really get into that rhythm," manager Buck Showalter said of Bundy. "Stuff-wise, he's fine. A good curveball -- didn't throw it quite as much as he could have. I don't think that had anything to do with it. The changeup elevated a couple times, and they found some hits, and also found some bleachers, too."

The Orioles pulled back to within a run with back-to-back home runs by Mark Trumbo and Chris Davis in the fifth, but T.J. McFarland allowed a pair of two-run homers in the bottom of the inning to put the game out of reach.

McFarland was meant to save the rest of the bullpen from another taxing day, but all of Mychal Givens, Donnie Hart and Brad Brach pitched out the string. McFarland allowed four runs in two-thirds of an inning. Givens allowed three runs while recording one out, and Brach allowed a run in 1 1/3 innings.

Home run milestones

Davis had two home runs on the day, the first of which gave the Orioles an even 200 on the season in their 129th game. That made this Orioles team the second-fastest in club history to hit 200 behind the 1996 Orioles, who did it in 126 games. Only four teams in baseball history have hit 200 as a team faster.

Trumbo's fifth-inning home run was his major league-leading 39th of the season. With two Saturday, Davis has eight home runs in his past 11 games.

More fun with replay

Before the game, Showalter said he could remember eight or nine replay decisions by the reviewers back in New York that were downright puzzling, and he might add another Saturday.

The Yankees executed a double-steal of second and home that was granted after home plate umpire Ron Kulpa initially ruled catcher Matt Wieters tagged shortstop Didi Gregorius before he touched the plate. On review, the umpires making that call saw through a cloud of dust to determine Wieters did not tag Gregorius. Instead of ending the third inning tied 2-2, the Yankees took a lead they'd never relinquish.
