Tidbit the Orioles broadcasters are touting:
Orioles have not lost an intradivisional series for the last 21 series, which ties the MLB record. The opponents of the other three team had a sub .500 record. Orioles’ opponents record is .549.
So they hold the record now.
The good news for the Yankees came from Aaron Judge, who returned to the lineup and homered.
