Orioles All Star John Means made his season debut tonight after missing his first start with “arm fatigue.” Means struggled from the get go, and spotted New York a five-run lead in the top of the first inning.
Despite the deficit, the Orioles used three two-run home runs and a strong effort from their bullpen to storm back and claim a 6-5 lead in the eighth inning. Baltimore was three outs from completing the comeback and breaking its 17-game losing streak against New York. Then Cole Sulser took the mound looking for the save.
Sulser walked the lead off batter before Mike Tauchman flew out.
