Matt Wieters also connected for the last-place Orioles, whose five-game run matches a season high.

It was Baltimore’s first home game since former Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan took his own life Wednesday. Moments before the first pitch, there was a moment of silence in honor of the 1979 Cy Young Award winner, who died at age 59 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Flanagan’s No. 46 was displayed on the right-field scoreboard from batting practice to the end of the game. For the rest of the season, the Orioles will wear a black circular patch on their right jersey sleeves with the word “FLANNY’’ written in white.

“It was pretty appropriate that Friday night is when we wear our black jerseys,’’ Orioles manager Buck Showalter said before the game.

Tommy Hunter (3-2) allowed four runs and five hits over seven innings to help Baltimore improve to 2-9 against New York this season.

Jorge Posada, Alex Rodriguez, and Nick Swisher homered for the Yankees, who tied a season high with four errors. Rodriguez’s homer was his first since June 11.
