BALTIMORE — Aaron Judge may be playing in another stratosphere right now, but just about the only feat he has yet to accomplish is pitching.

The Yankees came up short in that department on Wednesday night to waste another stellar night from their captain.

Carlos Carrasco struggled as he gave up four runs in the second inning against the Orioles, paving the way for their 5-4 victory over the Yankees at Camden Yards. This defeat led to the Yankees losing the series.

Judge went 3-for-3 with a home run, an intentional walk and two RBIs to finish the month of April batting .427 with a 1.282 OPS.

But he was left in the on-deck circle when Orioles closer Felix Bautista struck out Trent Grisham to end the game.

Carrasco lasted just 3 ¹/₃ innings while giving up four runs on eight hits.

The experienced right-handed pitcher, known for needing precise control due to his reduced pitching speed, managed to throw a first-pitch strike to just eight out of the 18 batters he faced during the game.

That particularly hurt him in a four-run second inning in which he consistently fell behind in the count.

It was 1-0 when Jackson Holliday hit a leadoff single and 1-0 when Ryan Mountcastle crushed a slider for a two-run shot that tied the game.

Then it was 2-0 when Ramon Urias drilled a fastball for a solo shot and the 3-2 lead.

Despite being ahead in the count at 1-2, Carrasco couldn’t maintain momentum, allowing Gunnar Henderson to single and then falling behind 2-0 to Adley Rutschman, who capitalized on the opportunity with an RBI single, extending the Orioles’ lead to 4-2.

After Paul Goldschmidt clubbed his second home run of the year to pull the Yankees (18-13) within 4-3 in the top of the fifth, the Orioles added an insurance run in the bottom of the inning off Tim Hill that proved to be the difference.

Hill, who relieved Carrasco in the bottom of the fourth and stranded a runner on second, walked back-to-back hitters to lead off the fifth.

Ramon Laureano then hit a ground ball up the middle that Anthony Volpe booted to load the bases for Holliday, who drove in a run on a fielder’s choice to make it 5-3.

The benches briefly cleared in the bottom of the fourth after Pablo Reyes landed on Heston Kjerstad’s head after leaping to catch a throw at second base.

Kjerstad, who was stealing second, appeared to take exception to Reyes making too much contact with his head and began chirping at him.

Reyes engaged, sparking the benches and bullpens clearing, though it quickly fizzled out from there.

For the second straight night, Judge clobbered a first-inning home run, this one with Trent Grisham on first base for the 2-0 lead off left-hander Cade Povich.

Judge then delivered again in the seventh, when the Orioles decided to pitch to him with two outs and Oswald Peraza on third base.

Facing righty reliever Yennier Cano, Judge ripped a single through the left side to make it a 5-4 game.

An inning prior, the Yankees had a prime chance to score with runners on the corners and one out.

But lefty reliever Keegan Akin got Reyes and Jasson Domínguez (from the right side) to strike out looking.
