Rapid Reaction: Orioles 3, Yankees 2

BALTIMORE -- Brian McCann hit a solo homer in the top of the ninth to give the New York Yankees a one-run lead, but closer David Robertson couldn’t hold it, allowing two runs in the bottom half of the inning to let the Baltimore Orioles pull out a 3-2 victory Sunday night.

The Yankees (76-72) dropped three out of four in this four-game series. Baltimore and the Yankees will meet four more times in New York from Sept. 22-25, likely the final home games of shortstop Derek Jeter’s career.

McCann and Martin Prado supplied the Yankees' offense with their solo homers, but it wasn’t enough on this night.

The finale: Shortstop Derek Jeter played in his final game in Oriole Park at Camden Yards Sunday. He said before the game that it has been fun for him to play there and it’s a “place I’ve looked forward to playing at.” But Jeter's recent offensive troubles continued, as he went hitless in four at-bats and now is on an 0-for-24 skid.

Dee-fense, dee-fense: Jeter couldn’t help at the plate, but he saved a run with a nice play on defense. The Orioles had runners at first and third with two outs in the fifth when Jonathan Schoop hit a shot that Jeter snagged in the hole before making a quick throw to second for the inning-ending force play.

Milestone: Starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda reached 3,000 innings for his professional career -- including his time in Japanese baseball -- after 2 1/3 frames in Sunday’s matchup with the Orioles. He pitched in Japan from 1997-2007 and in the major leagues since 2008.

Can’t save it: David Robertson tried to lock up his 37th save Sunday night but couldn’t do it. He came on with a 2-1 lead, and gave up back-to-back doubles that tied the game before former Yankee Kelly Johnson got his two-bagger to win it.

Power time: Martin Prado's recent power surge since coming to the Yankees continued on Sunday night when he hit a solo homer in the second inning. Prado banged out just five homers in the first 106 games this year while playing with Arizona. He has now hit seven in 36 games with the Yankees.

K-time: Dellin Betances struck out two in his one inning of relief Sunday. That gave him 130 this season, tying for most strikeouts by a Yankees reliever ever, a record that Mariano Rivera set in 1996. Betances’ 130 K's have come in only 86 2/3 innings. Rivera needed 107 2/3 innings to set his mark.
