Due to the sheer amount of games the 1998 Yankees won, it’s not often that they had to get a W to stave off a series sweep. Yet, that’s what they were up against in the third game of their set against the Orioles on June 17th, after they dropped the first two.
The 1998 Yankees were only swept once over the course of the season, and that came in a mini two-game set. With that in mind, you might be able to guess what happened in this one.
