Baltimore was on the other end of the spectrum of the series!

Baltimore Maryland!

When?
Friday, Saturday!
Why?
Baltimore lost game one on Friday Maikel Franco bounced the Jonathan Loaisiga sinker into the dirt, pulling it on a few easy hops to Yankees third baseman Miguel Andújar. Whereas manager Brandon Hyde would characterize one of Franco’s earlier infield grounders as a productive out, as it moved a runner over as part of Baltimore’s three-run fifth, this one benefited from no such branding. This one helped put the finishing touches on Friday’s 5-4 loss to the Yankees at Oriole Park, the ensuing 5-4-3 double play erasing the potential tying run from first in the ninth.
