Well, that was no fun. In a game that many would have pegged as most likely to be a shootout, a pitchers’ duel erupted. Kyle Gibson and Clarke Schmidt both spun impressive outings, but it was Gibson who came out with seven scoreless inning and the win, as the Baltimore Orioles took the away series from the New York Yankees with a decisive 3-1 victory in the Bronx.
In the game thread, I wrote that Gibson was the type of pitcher that the Yankees lineup is designed to feast against. For the first pitch of the game, that looked like a prediction, as Gleyber Torres laced a sinker up the middle at 105.
