Good morning, Birdland!
Beating the snot out of the Yankees on national television is a LOT of fun. The Orioles should do that way more often. Even better, their 9-3 win last night meant clinching that individual series and the season series against New York, further burying their playoff hopes.
The Orioles struck out 18 Yankees in the Aaron Judge-less lineup. That’s a franchise record! Meanwhile, the O’s lit up Yanks starter Luis Serverino for seven runs in the first inning (six before they even recorded an out) and then two more in the fourth.
