BALTIMORE—The Orioles’ long Yankees nightmare is over.

BALTIMORE—In wild 2020-style baseball, the Orioles lost their 19th consecutive game to the New York Yankees in the ninth inning of the first game of a doubleheader Friday evening at Camden Yards.

Miguel Castro and Mychal Givens are no longer part of the Orioles’ bullpen after they were traded on consecutive days.

It also means a chance for a 35-year-old junkballer, who’s pitched professionally in no fewer...
On a day when the Orioles’ best throw was made by their shortstop and not a pitcher, their bullpen lost another veteran.
