Default puppy play attacking hurts older dog

I have not been active on here lately, but know this is the best place for advice. I have 3 yorkies, 2 of them are 3 yrs old and a 4 month old puppy. I have had the baby for 2 months and she gets along great with my girl, they play roughhouse, tug and occasionally Minnie will correct the baby. My problem is with my boy, the baby wants to play with him like she does with Minnie and he does not want to hurt the baby so he retreats and she chases him and bites him and he yelps but she won't stop. I have given him places he can go to get away, and i do intervene when needed and I put the baby in her xpen as a timeout. Guess i need to know if i am doing the right things and how to teach the baby not to pick on my boy so much. He is just so sweet and wouldn't hurt a fly. Thanks so much!
