BALTIMORE -- As disappointing as this 2018 season has been, the Orioles have made sure to turn their attention to the bright spots, in whatever form they may come.
But even some of the brightest lights have found ways to extinguish themselves, as Yefry Ramirez was roughed up in the worst outing of his young career in a 10-2 loss to the Yankees in Game 2 of a twin bill on Monday night at Camden Yards. Danny Valencia's three-run homer sparked the O's to a 5-4 win in the opener.
Heading into the doubleheader, Ramirez, one of six O's pitchers to make their Major League debut this season, had come up big in much-needed situations, whether it be in a spot start or long relief, and he's thrived on the back of a wicked changeup.
