NEW YORK — As the old saying goes, over the course of a 162-game season, each team wins 54 games, loses 54 games and the remaining 54 could go either way.
On Thursday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, the Baltimore Orioles absolutely lost a game.
In the Yankees’ 10-5 win over Baltimore, the Orioles coughed up four basically free runs in a fifth inning from hell, serving their AL East rival a lead on a silver platter. The Yankees, who were down 2-0 after three lazy innings, happily devoured it.
