The recent run of rainy weather in the state of Maryland has affected every facet of life, from road closures to baseball. The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees were scheduled to play four games between Thursday and Sunday, but Mother Nature had other plans, causing a pair of postponements.
The Orioles did play on Friday and Saturday, and what we saw wasn’t pretty. The Birds jumped out to a first-inning lead in both contests, but starters Andrew Cashner and Kevin Gausman were both worn down by the Yankees’ potent lineup. The O’s also struggled to make plays on defense, capping the frustrating weekend with a three-error inning on Saturday.
