Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Friday night’s series opener against the Orioles that he’d like to use reliever Luke Weaver in a “fireman” role now that he’s back. That means he’d be available in the biggest late-inning spots of the game.

The right-hander, activated from the injured list earlier Friday, surrendered a solo home run to lead-off batter Ramon Urias in the eighth inning to send the Yankees to a 5-3 loss to the Orioles before a sellout crowd of 47,034 at Yankee Stadium.

Ramón Urías hit a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning against Luke Weaver, spoiling the New York reliever's return, as the Baltimore Orioles topped the Yankees 5-3 on Friday night. Urías snapped a 3-3 tie when he drove a full-count pitch into the right field seats for a 337-foot drive.
