Kyle Gibson (0-1) made his long-awaited start for the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night and an inauspicious start it was. Actually, DISASTER is a much more fitting adjective. Gibson lasted just 3.2 innings, tossing 73 pitches (44 strikes) to 24 batters, allowing 9 runs on 11 hits (5 homeruns) with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts in a 15-3 loss to the New York Yankees. The cumulative distance of the five homeruns Gibson surrendered was 1,946 feet.
The game featured alot, back-to-back-to-back Yankee homeruns to open the game, four homeruns total in the first inning, Charlie Morton (2.1 IP, 1 UER, 3 H, BB, 2 K) pitching in relief, a perfect game through five innings and the MLB debut of Maverick Handley (0 for 2, 2 K).
Emmanuel Rivera (0 for 2, R, BB) broke up the perfecto with his lead-off walk in the sixth and Jorge Mateo (1 for 3, 2B) broke up the no-hitter with his double immediately afterwards
The other two Batimore hits were produced by Gunnar Henderson (1 for 3, HR, R, RBI) with his 7th inning homerun to right field and Jackson Holliday (1 for 1).
Henderson’s homerun did get Yankees starter Carlos Rondon out of the game.
2025 Record: 11-18
Next Game: Wed. 4/30 @ 6:35 pm vs. New York Yankees
