When last the O’s and the Yankees met on April 15-17 in Baltimore, the 1-5 Orioles (then the worst record in all of baseball) shocked the Bronx Bombers by taking the series, holding what was supposed to be one of the AL’s top offenses to three runs in three games. Since then, the Birds have gone 3-3 on their West Coast trip, their offense looking a little better while their pitching has looked somewhat worse.
Although Bronx fans’ antics turned off a lot of people this weekend, the Yankees continue their winning ways, their 10-6 record tied for the lead in the AL East.
