Dontcha love doubleheaders? In Game 1 of a Friday night’s two-game contest, the Orioles were done in by their inability to drive in runners on base, leaving 11 men stranded. In Game 2, down a run, they socked four two-out hits in a row to put the Yankees in a 6-3 hole they wouldn’t climb out of.
It’s understandable if, when this season started, you weren’t exactly fantasizing about an Orioles lineup featuring Dilson Herrera at first, Pat Valaika at second, Andrew Velazquez at short, and DJ Stewart in right.
