Means struggles again in Orioles 8-3 loss to Yankees

The Orioles’ inability to compete with the AL East-leading New York Yankees continued on Tuesday night as the O’s dropped yet another game to the Bronx Bombers by a score of 8-3.

Maybe it’s time to starting worrying that the post-All Star Game version of John Means is a better representation of the rookie’s ability than what we saw from him prior to the Midsummer Classic.

The very first pitch that Means threw in this game would be a harbinger of unfortunate events to come. DJ Lemahieu smacked a 91 mph fastball in the middle of the plate over the left-center fence for an early 1-0 lead over the visiting Orioles.
