Bryan Hoch / MLB.com NEW YORK -- A.J. Burnett suffered his first career loss at Camden Yards as the Yankees were defeated by the Orioles, 4-3, on Thursday, averting a series sweep. Fighting himself on an up-and-down evening, Burnett allowed Baltimore to regain the lead in the sixth inning. Luke Scott slammed his bat after lifting a one-out fly ball, but the ball eluded Nick Swisher's leap at the right-field wall and dropped for a triple. Adam Jones followed with an RBI double to right-center. Burnett lasted into the seventh, recording the first two outs before allowing a pair of hits and yielding to lefty Damaso Marte. Burnett was charged with four runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out five, taking just his third career loss in 15 starts against the Orioles. The Yankees chipped away at Jake Arrieta for three runs on four hits in six innings in the right-hander's Major League debut. Curtis Granderson drove in the red-hot Robinson Cano with a RBI triple in the second inning, and third-string catcher Chad Moeller scored all the way from first base on Derek Jeter's third-inning double, which was followed by a Swisher sacrifice fly that gave the Yankees a one-run advantage. Burnett surrendered two quick runs in the first inning, hitting a pair of batters while allowing a Ty Wigginton sacrifice fly and Jones' RBI single. Scott Moore got to Burnett for a game-tying solo home run, his first, in the fifth inning.
