The Orioles snapped their 12-game losing streak at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, with right fielder Anthony Santander’s throw home in the bottom of the 11th inning catching the potential tying run and giving Baltimore a 4-3 victory.
The win keeps the Orioles from going into Thursday’s home opener on the heels of what would’ve otherwise been a three-game sweep. Santander’s outfield assist prevented New York from erasing a one-run lead for the third time in the late innings, with Chance Sisco’s pinch-hit RBI single in the top of the 11th holding up as the winning hit.
The Orioles have understandably grown used to John Means being dominant into the middle innings.
