NEW YORK — Through one month, the American League had one good team and 14 middling ones. The Orioles are one of the 14. The Yankees are on top.
In the first game of their series on Friday night, it looked that way. The Yankees pummeled Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich for five runs in the first two innings en route to handing Baltimore a 7-2 loss. The Orioles’ offense couldn’t mount a comeback, scrounging only three hits off Yankees starter Will Warren and his relievers.
The defeat dropped Baltimore to 15-17, six games back of the AL-best Yankees (21-11). Povich retired the first two batters he faced, but he walked Aaron Judge and allowed a double to Cody Bellinger. Right fielder Dylan Beavers bobbled the ball, making it easier for Judge to score to give the Yankees an early lead.
