BALTIMORE (AP) — First, Ryan Weathers lost his no-hit bid. Not long after that, the New York Yankees lost the lead.
And ultimately, they ended up with their fourth straight defeat.
Pitching for the first time since May 2 after a severe viral infection caused him to lose nine pounds, Weathers took a no-hitter and a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
Perhaps the last thing on the left-hander's mind was completing the Yankees' first no-hitter since Domingo Germán threw a perfect game against the Athletics on June 28, 2023.
“To be honest with you, I had zero idea,” Weathers said afterward. “I was walking guys and stuff like that, so I guess it never really rang a bell with me what was going on.”
Truth is, Weathers issued only three walks. One to open the game, another in the fifth inning and the last in the seventh, which proved to be the last batter he faced.
After Adley Rutschman opened the seventh with a single up the middle to end Weathers' no-hit bid, Pete Alonso grounded out before Tyler O'Neill walked. Yankees manager Aaron Boone then summoned Brent Headrick from the bullpen, and Coby Mayo sent the lefty's third pitch into the left-field seats for a three-run homer.
Final score: Orioles 3, Yankees 2.
Weathers threw 101 pitches in his comeback from a virus that had him running a fever of 102 degrees.
"It's definitely been a (rough) couple of weeks, for sure," he said.
For the Yankees, it's been a difficult stretch after a 16-3 run that bolted them into first place in the AL East. During that streak, New York registered a four-game sweep of the Orioles by a combined 39-10 score.
On this night, however, the Yankees were beaten by the sub-.500 Orioles. And the final nail came with a decision by the replay room.
After pinch-runner José Caballero was called safe at second on an attempted steal with two outs in the ninth, the Orioles challenged the call. Turned out, second baseman Blaze Alexander made the tag after all, and the ruling was reversed — leaving New York with a particularly frustrating loss.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Michael Soroka allowed three singles over 6 1/3 scoreless innings, and Geraldo Perdomo drove home the game’s only run three batters in as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Texas Rangers 1-0 on Monday night.
Perdomo’s RBI double one-hopped into the right field corner after Corbin Carroll hit a one-out double to left center in the first. The Diamondbacks have won three straight for the first time since mid-April.
Soroka (5-2) was on the other end of a 1-0 game in his previous start, losing to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Paul Sewald pitched the ninth inning for his ninth save in as many opportunities.
Sewald retired the first two batters before facing Corey Seager, who homered off him to tie up Game 1 of the 2023 World Series and went on to be named MVP of the Rangers' five-game win. Seager, who has gone 19 at-bats without a hit, was hit by Sewald on an 0-1 sweeper down and in. Sewald then got Josh Jung, who has six hits in his past two games, to fly out to center.
Texas threw a five-man bullpen game after scheduled starter Nathan Eovaldi reported left side soreness Monday morning and was scratched. Jakob Junis (0-1) made his first start since 2024 with Cincinnati. Junis’ 2 2/3 innings, 31 pitches and 10 batters faced were season highs.
Diamondbacks pitchers have allowed just two runs in the past three games.
The Rangers sent in pinch-runner Sam Haggerty at first base in the eighth inning with one out, and Taylor Clarke picked him off before delivering his next pitch.
Arizona’s run was the first allowed by Junis in 10 home outings this season.
The run snapped Texas pitching’s string of 20 consecutive scoreless innings, tied for fourth longest in the major leagues this season.
The Rangers went into play with a majors-best 2.80 bullpen ERA..
Ketel Marte played in his 1,092nd career game for the Diamondbacks, tying Paul Goldschmidt for second place behind Luis Gonzalez (1,194).
Diamondbacks RHP Zac Gallen (1-3, 4.70 ERA) will face Rangers LHP MacKenzie Gore (2-3, 5.18) on Tuesday night in a matchup of pitchers who haven’t won since early April.
