In the eleventh, Mitchell went back to the mound, but ended up surrendering three runs as the Yankees lost to the Baltimore Orioles 4–7.[12][13][14] The next day, on May 1, Mitchell was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre so the Yankees could call up Luis Cessa.[15] He had pitched 11.1 innings, posting a 6.35 ERA. He was recalled on May 21.[16] After being optioned back Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, he was again recalled on August 8.
