NEW YORK — If this series was a litmus test for the Baltimore Orioles, the results came back with a conclusive answer. The Orioles — at least right now — are nowhere close to being in the same ballpark as the New York Yankees. Baltimore on Monday lost 12-1 to New York, as the Orioles were once again outplayed by the Yankees in every facet of the game to suffer a four-game series sweep.
The Orioles lost all four games by at least five runs and were outscored by 29 runs in the series. The Orioles have lost five straight games by at least five runs, which is the longest streak in franchise history. They played 36 innings and never held a lead.
Like Sunday’s 11-3 loss, Monday’s contest turned into a laugher because of a blowup inning by a reliever. This time, it was newcomer Lou Trivino, who gave up six runs in the eighth. It was so bad that Weston Wilson, a position player, had to enter to record the final out of the frame.
