Gleyber Torres given day off, and Orioles must be going wild

Those hymns and bells you’re hearing out of Baltimore are Orioles pitchers singing Hallelujah.

For on the fourth day of the series, Gleyber sat.

Gleyber Torres is out of the Yankees lineup for Thursday’s matinee against the Orioles, appearing to get a day off amid an 11-game hitting streak, in which he’s homered seven times and has batted .405.

He has been particularly unmerciful against Baltimore, hitting 5-of-12 with four home runs as Yankees have taken the first three of the four-game series. In all this year, Torres has slashed an unfathomable .465/.531/1.233 against Baltimore, including 10 of his 12 homers.
