As Yankees fans, the 2019 season has taught us to take the good with the bad. So, yes, the Bombers defeated the Orioles 7-5 on Wednesday to stay two games ahead of the Rays for first place in the AL East (31-17).
Buoyed by five home runs, including two by Gleyber Torres, and Gary Sanchez’s team-leading 15th long ball, the Yanks continue to beat the teams they should.
As for Torres, after a slow start to the season, the 22-year-old now has a total of 12 home runs — 10 of which have come against the Orioles in 11 games.
