The Yankees arrived in Baltimore in last place and will be leaving Baltimore after playing four games still in last place. After a couple of dismal outings by the offense, the Orioles were able to do just enough, combined with pitching that was just good enough, to pull off a split of the series with a 10-inning, 4-3 win on Thursday afternoon.
This was not the sort of game where you might look at the box score and think that the Orioles were the team that “should” have won. The Orioles were out-hit by the Yankees in the game, picking up just seven hits over the game’s ten innings.
