Sunday’s placement of the Orioles’ series finale with the New York Yankees in primetime on national television only served to provide a larger audience to cringe and look away.
Even a bit of relative improvement from Dylan Bundy and the slow growth of an offensive identity couldn’t prevent a 5-3 loss to the visiting Yankees before an announced 17,343 at Camden Yards, condemning the Orioles to a set of ignominious feats.
Their eighth loss in a row also marked their fifth four-game series without a win, and second against an American League East rival in two weeks.
