The Orioles and Yankees came into this game with identical disappointing records, tied for last place in the A.L. East. Their 9-12 record was definitely more disappointing for the Yankees, who expect to be good this year. Taking the mound for the Yankees was Deivi Garcia, a rookie born in 1999. For the Orioles was grizzled vet Matt Harvey, who is just trying to prove he still belongs.
For tonight anyway, Harvey prevailed. He completed six innings with just one run allowed and got all the offensive support he needed from rising star Cedric Mullins. The Orioles took this game by a score of 4-2, officially kicking the Yankees to sole possession of last place.
