The Orioles were outplayed by the New York Yankees in every facet of the game this weekend in the Bronx, outscored 38-8 over the three games at Yankee Stadium.
But if there was any lesson taken from being swept at the hands of the American League East leaders after another lopsided loss to the Yankees, it’s that this Orioles club must now concentrate less on who it is chasing in the division standings and more on solving its problems.
There’s little doubt that the Yankees – a group of baby bombers who seem to be collectively coming of age – are for real.
