Each of the past 18 meetings with the Baltimore Orioles have ended with handshakes for the New York Yankees.
Things are not going well for the Yankees, but they hope to maintain their recent dominance of Orioles starting pitching during a Friday doubleheader at Camden Yards in Baltimore.
The Yankees have won 18 straight over Baltimore, their third-longest winning streak over an opponent in team history. Their longest streaks are a 19-game run over the Philadelphia Athletics from 1938-39 and a 21-game run in 1927 over the St. Louis Browns, who became the Orioles in 1954.
New York kept its streak going in the opening week of the season when Aaron Judge homered in both games of a two-game series that was hastily produced after the Yankees had four games with the Philadelphia Phillies postponed due to coronavirus concerns.
