The New York Yankees were hammered by the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 12-2 on Tuesday night. I really don’t have a whole lot to blog about because the Yankees pretty much got their butt handed to them.

Mike Mussina only lasted 2/3 of an inning as he got rocked.  Mussina gave up five hits and seven runs to take the loss.  Ross Ohlendorf gave up another three runs over the next three innings.  Jose Veras also gave up a run as he pitched in relief.

The two Yankees runs came in the sixth inning when Alex Rodriguez hit a two run home run.  It was A-Rod’s 13th home run of the season.
