Can this surprisingly effective Orioles team compete against the big boys come fall? As the team embarks on the second half of the season, that is the million-dollar question.
From a game like this, you conclude, well, definitely maybe.
Tyler Wells, whether from rust or the 91-degree heat, struggled with command, and two clunkers to Aaron Judge were translated into two mammoth homers and four Yankees runs. It’s not the worst thing in the world to be owned by this season’s likely AL MVP, but it does suck to go 1-for-9 against a wobbly-looking Jameson Taillon, out of the game after just 2.
