Remember when the Orioles won the first series of the season and everyone freaked out? That was weird. The Yankees have since demolished the O’s, winning every game against them to date. The Bombers continued their stretch of good fortune against the Birds in game one of Monday’s doubleheader, besting them by a score of 8-5.
The Yankees entered the afternoon’s game having hit 52 home runs against the Orioles this season. The Bombers padded that total with four more long balls, and they wasted little time doing so. Didi Gregorius got things started in the first inning with a three-run bomb off Gabriel Ynoa, before Gleyber Torres added a solo shot.
