The Yankees at least made things interesting on Thursday, but things ended as they usually do around these parts, in a frustrating loss.

Baltimore Orioles (79-48) 5, Toronto Blue Jays (70-58) 3
The oft-mentioned weakness of this Orioles squad is starting pitching, and yesterday’s starter, Kyle Gibson, has been rather emblematic of that weakness.
