BALTIMORE (AP) -- Adam Loewen doesn't have a 100 mph fastball, and few would
describe his offspeed pitches as wicked.
"It looks like you'd want to go up there and hit against him," New York Yankees
manager Joe Torre said, "but you'd come back empty."
That's how it went Saturday for the Yankees, who managed only one hit off
Loewen and two relievers in a 5-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
Loewen entered with one win in eight starts and a 6.44 ERA, but he couldn't
have been much better over 6 1-3 innings against the AL East leaders. The left-
hander struck out eight, walked five and retired 11 straight during one stretch
.
"I don't think I have ever pitched like that in my career against such a great
team," Loewen said. "It feels good to get that one out of the way, and hopeful-
ly there are a lot more of them to come. I can't say enough about the great
defense today."
New York's lone hit was a clean first-inning single to right by Bobby Abreu.
Baltimore shortstop Miguel Tejada made two outstanding plays on grounders in
the hole, robbing Jorge Posada and Craig Wilson of hits.
Tejada went 3-for-4 and scored twice, and the Orioles scored three runs off
Mike Mussina to end New York's five-game winning streak.
But the postgame talk centered on Loewen, a former first-round draft pick whose
performance belied his unimpressive won-lost record and lofty ERA.
"He definitely threw a great game," said Johnny Damon, who went 0-for-2 with a
walk against the rookie. "His record is no indication of what kind of pitcher
he is."
After Baltimore took a 5-0 lead in the sixth, Loewen (2-3) began to struggle.
He opened the seventh by walking Alex Rodriguez on four pitches, then walked
Jason Giambi.
"The way we've been playing lately, you feel every little thing is going to
spark something," Torre said. "But we never could put any pressure on him. We
just kept spinning our wheels."
After a visit to the mound by manager Sam Perlozzo, Loewen struck out Posada
before being lifted. As he walked off the mound, many in the crowd of 49,159
stood and applauded his finest performance -- and longest stint -- in the big
leagues.
"I'm adapting to my environment," Loewen said. "I think I just feel more com-
fortable out there."
Said Perlozzo: "I like his makeup for the future. It's something where you sit
there and say, next year we've got ourselves a guy."
Todd Williams came in and got Wilson to hit into a double play to end the inn-
ing. Williams then worked a perfect eighth before LaTroy Hawkins got three
straight outs, striking out two.
Mussina (13-4) gave up three runs and six hits in five innings. The right-
hander was 5-0 in his last seven starts and had not lost since June 15.
"Three runs, five innings, he kept us in the game," Torre said. "But we weren't
going anywhere."
Posada went 0-for-2, but with his 81st start at catcher this season, his $12
million option for 2007 became guaranteed.
Yankees second baseman Miguel Cairo left in the third inning with a strained
left hamstring and could be out for "a couple of weeks," Torre said.
New York's threatened in the first inning. Derek Jeter drew a one-out walk and
took second on a single by Abreu. Rodriguez flied out to left, and Jeter was
thrown out trying to steal third.
The Orioles went up 3-0 in the second. After Tejada led off with a double and
scored on a single by Jay Gibbons, Mussina walked Ramon Hernandez and Nick
Markakis in succession to load the bases with two outs. Brian Roberts fell
behind 0-2 in the count, then concluded a nine-pitch at-bat with a two-run
single.
"Moose looked like he tried to throw harder. He wasn't as smooth, delivery-wise
," Torre said. "You don't see him walk people, fall behind in the count like he
did. After that he seemed to smooth it out a little bit."
Baltimore added two runs in the sixth against Ron Villone. Tejada hit a leadoff
single and took third on a one-out single by Jeff Conine before Corey Patterson
singled in a run and Markakis hit a run-scoring grounder.
New York right-hander Jose Veras pitched two scoreless innings in his big
league debut.
Game notes
Jeter's season-high 13-game hitting streak ended. ... It was only the second
times the Yankees have been blanked. ... Mussina's strikeout of Markakis in the
fourth was his 1,000th as a Yankee. He fetched the ball before leaving the
mound.
