There has been so much on-field and meta-drama in the Orioles and Yankees series this week that it almost feels like they’ve played four games already. In fact, it’s only been the two, with the O’s losing the opener, 4-2, before winning in 10 innings last night, 7-6. The rubber match awaits here this afternoon.
Among the stakes in the game is the Orioles streak of series without losing one against an AL East opponent. That dates back to when they lost a series to the Yankees in April 2023. Ever since then, it’s been all wins and splits.
