If the Yankees end up playing the wild-card game in Oakland instead of The Bronx, you can point to Sunday’s ugly loss as a big reason why.
A day after they qualified for the postseason with a dramatic win, the Yankees delivered a dud Sunday in a 6-3 loss to the Orioles in their final regular-season home game of the season.
Possible wild-card starter J.A. Happ was staked to a 3-0 lead after one of Baltimore’s few serviceable starting pitchers, Alex Cobb, was forced from the game with an injury after just four pitches.
