The Orioles offense has risen...at least for one inning. The lineup, which has struggled mightily to hit with runners in scoring position so far this year, managed to do just that three times in the same frame on Sunday afternoon, beating the Yankees 5-0 and earning their first series win of the season.
Prior to the outburst, this was similar to every other game in this Yankees series. Neither offense was particularly potent. Through the first seven innings it was nothing but zeroes on the board.
Bruce Zimmermann posted five scoreless innings to maintain his perfect 0.
