On Thursday, the Yankees played a bit of a weird game against the Orioles. They were the beneficiaries of five Orioles errors in a 10-5 win. Four of the 10 runs ended up being unearned thanks to Baltimore’s miscues in the field.
Today, that many errors is a game is pretty rare. The average per game in 2022 through Thursday is 0.55, which is very slightly up from 2021’s 0.54. The per game average has steadily fallen over the years with 2021 being the smallest ever. While it’s not completely linear, if you go back through history, the totals keep on rising.
