The Orioles overcame a bleak beginning to beat the Yankees 6-3 on the backs of their bullpen and designated hitter Tim Beckham in the Bronx on Sunday afternoon.
No one would have blamed you, an otherwise dedicated Orioles fan, if you had turned off this game in the middle of the first inning. Disaster felt like a given following a series of unfortunate events.
Baltimore’s hitters went down in order to begin the game with three consecutive strikeouts. Alex Cobb made his way to the mound to start the bottom of the first inning, but was forced to leave the game after just four pitches.
