In their first game of at least two weeks without ever-present reliever Darren O’Day in the bullpen, the Orioles strung together 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief with T.J. McFarland, Mychal Givens and Zach Britton to allow for a 6-5 comeback win over the New York Yankees on Friday.
The entirety of that group, plus manager Buck Showalter, was upbeat after the game about the team's chances without the All-Star O’Day, who suffered a strained hamstring Wednesday and went on the disabled list Friday afternoon.
“We talked to Darren before the game, and he’s obviously disappointed with it, but we’ve got a deeper bullpen than I can remember having,” Britton said.
