The Orioles have waited a long time to beat the New York Yankees. They entered the season with a 16-game losing streak to their American League East foe. They were set to open the year against them in March before the coronavirus pandemic delayed the season by four months. Even Thursday, they had to sit through a 1-hour, 34-minute rain delay to get the chance to rally from a five-run first inning deficit.
They did so, but Pedro Severino’s go-ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth didn’t hold up when Aaron Judge answered with a three-run shot off Cole Sulser in the top of the ninth to propel New York to an 8-6 victory.
