The YES broadcast is showing CC Sabathia applying a hot water bottle to his rib cage between innings. It’s not that cold a day in Baltimore, so it’s raising the possibility that CC is pitching through an injury, or maybe just tightness. He’s allowed the first two runners to reach in three of the four innings he’s worked. The Orioles lead 3-1 in the top of the fifth, and CC has yet to strike out a batter.
Update: Sabathia is out of the game after giving up five walks and six runs. Baltimore leads 6-1 and has the bases loaded as Albaladejo tries to get out of the jam. He gets an 8-2 flyout/throw out double play to end the inning.
