The Yankees began the second half of their season with a 7–6 road victory over the Orioles on Friday night at Camden Yards, with two homers from Aaron Judge leading the way.
But in New York’s MLB-best 65th win on Friday night, it ultimately was not about Judge or Chapman, but instead about reliever Michael King.
King, who has been a major contributor in the Yankees bullpen, left the game in the eighth inning after feeling a pop in his elbow.
Sources told Joel Sherman of the New York Post that King suffered a fractured elbow.
