NOTESBY NATHAN RUIZbaltimore — The Baltimore Orioles have waited a
long time to beat the New York Yankees. They
entered the season with a 17-game losing streak to
their American League East foe. They were set to
open the year against them in March before the
novel coronavirus pandemic delayed the season by
four months. Even Thursday, they had to sit
through a 1-hour 34-minute rain delay to get the
chance to rally from a five-run first inning deficit.
They did so, but Pedro Severino’s go-ahead home
run in the eighth didn’t hold up when Aaron Judge
answered with a three-run shot off Cole Sulser in
the ninth to propel New York to an 8-6 victory. It
was the Yankees’ 18th straight win over the Orioles
and 17 th straight at Camden Yards.
Orioles all-star left-hander John Means strug-
gled in his season debut, allowing five runs in the
first inning — including a grand slam by Luke Voit
— despite having increased velocity from the year
before.
But the Orioles answered quickly, with Hanser
Alberto and Rio Ruiz hitting two-run home runs off
Yankees left-hander J.A. Happ in the first and
second innings, respectively. But the score re-
mained 5-4 through the middle innings. A lengthy
rain delay threatened to prematurely end the game
and give the Yankees a sweep in the impromptu
two-game series, necessitated in the wake of
schedule changes because of the Miami Marlins’
coronavirus outbreak.
