Last year, the Yankees went 12-7 against the Orioles. Going 12-7 against a team isn’t bad, but it also isn’t good if that team is the 2018 Orioles.
After Thursday’s Opening Day win, you would have hoped that Yankees moved beyond the needless losses to a really bad Baltimore team. It’s only the second game against them, so maybe everything will be fine. However, this loss seemed very 2018-ish.
The Yankees scored first and had several other chances early. Meanwhile, James Paxton mostly cruised through the Orioles’ lineup in his Yankees’ debut.
