The Yankees experienced their most disappointing offensive performance of the year, succumbing to a 3-1 defeat to the Orioles.
Although the pitching did a commendable job, it couldn’t keep up indefinitely, and the lack of production from the lineup exacerbated the problem.
It seemed as if each half-inning, the Orioles kept circulating their batters and meticulously working their counts, while the Yankees retired in sequence.
Despite the challenging loss, a silver lining emerged in Clarke Schmidt’s performance, which was as consistent as we’ve seen all year. Hopefully, the offense will bounce back in the next match.
