Death, taxes and the Yankees beating the Orioles.
The Yankees made it 13 straight over their feeble AL East foes with an 8-5 win in the first game of Monday’s split doubleheader in The Bronx.
They hit four more homers in the process, adding to their record number against the Orioles with 56 in just 16 games.
The one flaw in their latest victory came — again — from their starting pitching, as James Paxton barely made it through six innings and allowed two more home runs.
After Paxton gave up a first-inning run for the sixth time in his last seven starts, the Yankees continued to crush Baltimore pitching in the bottom of the frame.
