Aubrey Huff hit a grand slam, Daniel Cabrera pitched two-hit ball into the seventh inning, and the Baltimore Orioles cooled off the Yankees with a 12–0 win last night.

Cabrera’s effort and the death of Hall of Fame shortstop Phil Rizzuto led to somber atmosphere at Yankee Stadium. Rizzuto had pneumonia and died in his sleep late Monday night.

Kevin Millar homered and reached base five times for the Orioles, which improved to 17–13 since the All-Star break. Huff finished with five RBIs, Melvin Mora went 3-for-4 and Jay Payton drove in two runs.

Hideki Matsui’s fourth-inning single and Alex Rodriguez’s infield hit in the sixth was all New York could manage against Cabrera (9-12), who struck out five and tied a season high with six walks in 6 2-3 innings.

The Yankees had won four straight and nine of their last 10. They also had set a franchise record with 116 runs over their previous 10 home games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

That all changed against Cabrera, who allowed eight runs over 5.1 innings in a loss against Seattle in his previous start. Paul Shuey got four outs and Rob Bell worked the ninth to complete the two-hitter. New York observed a pregame moment of silence and placed a wreath of flowers in front of Rizzuto’s plaque in Monument Park. The club showed highlights from Rizzuto’s playing career and part of his Hall of Fame induction speech before the bottom half of the first inning.

The Yankees also will wear his No. 10 on their left sleeves for the rest of the season.

Jeff Karstens (0-3) struggled with his control and only lasted three innings for New York. The right-hander got the spot start because manager Joe Torre juggled his rotation after Roger Clemens was suspended five games for hitting Toronto’s Alex Rios with a pitch on August 7.
