BALTIMORE — They play in a jewel of a ballpark in a city with a huge baseball heart and a deep tradition.
Yet, commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners he works for need to put the Orioles to sleep.
Over three embarrassing nights the talent-challenged Orioles were no match for the Yankees and on Wednesday evening they packed it in long before the AL East leaders split for Canada with a 14-2 victory that was witnessed by an announced quaint gathering of 16,299 at Camden Yards.
The lopsided win upped the Yankees’ record to 13-2 against the over-matched Orioles this season and was their 15th straight win at Camden Yards.
