It was a night of almosts for the New York Yankees. First, left-hander Ryan Weathers saw his no-hit bid slip away in the seventh inning. Then, the Yankees watched their lead vanish, too. And by the end of the night, they had dropped their fourth straight game, falling to the Baltimore Orioles.

Making his first start since May 2 after a severe viral infection that caused him to lose nine pounds, Weathers was nothing short of remarkable. He carried a no-hitter and a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning against the Orioles on Monday night. The last thing on the 25-year-old's mind? History. "To be honest with you, I had zero idea," Weathers said. "I was walking guys and stuff like that, so I guess it never really rang a bell with me what was going on."

And he wasn't far off—Weathers issued three walks, including one to open the game. But he also kept Baltimore off the board until the seventh, when Adley Rutschman singled up the middle to end the no-hit bid. After a groundout from Pete Alonso, Tyler O'Neill walked, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone turned to the bullpen. On the third pitch from reliever Brent Headrick, Coby Mayo launched a three-run homer to left field, flipping the game on its head.

Weathers threw 101 pitches in his comeback effort. "It's definitely been a (rough) couple of weeks, for sure," he said. For the Yankees, the rough stretch comes on the heels of a blistering 16-3 run that shot them into first place in the AL East. That streak included a four-game sweep of the Orioles by a combined 39-10 score. But Monday night, they were beaten by a sub-.500 Baltimore squad.

The final blow came in the ninth inning. With two outs, pinch-runner José Caballero was initially called safe on an attempted steal of second base. The Orioles challenged, and replay showed that second baseman Blaze Alexander had applied the tag just in time. The call was overturned. Game over. For a team that had been red-hot just days earlier, the slide is now four games and counting.
