NEW YORK — Kyle Gibson’s tour of the American League East with the Orioles began opening day. He completed his first lap Thursday in the Bronx.
The veteran right-hander provided Baltimore with seven scoreless innings against the New York Yankees in a 3-1 victory. The Orioles won their fourth straight series against AL East opponents, taking sets from each of the division’s other teams to pull off a feat they hadn’t achieved since 2016.
Gibson, too, has faced each of the AL East’s four teams and pitched well, with Thursday’s performance leaving him with a 2.52 ERA as he’s averaged more than six innings per start. He opened and closed Baltimore’s 5-1 road trip with seven-inning outings, holding the Toronto Blue Jays and Yankees to one run combined.
