Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.”
Had baseball been around in Franklin’s day, he might’ve added “the Orioles losing to the Yankees” to that list.
The Orioles lost their 18th consecutive game to the Yankees last night, and this one was particularly gut-wrenching. After the Yanks jumped on John Means for five runs in the first, the O’s held them scoreless for seven consecutive innings, allowing them to claw their way back from a 5-0 hole with a trio of two-run homers by Hanser Alberto, Rio Ruiz, and Pedro Severino, who swatted a go-ahead shot in the eighth.
