Dominant Yankees disrupt the Orioles

Having deflated the Baltimore Orioles’ spirit with an unprecedented show of power, the New York Yankees bid farewell to Camden Yards for 2019 after going 100 in a ballpark that simply could not contain their fencebusting lineup.

Gio Urshela and Kyle Higashioka each hit two home runs, and the Yankees’ longball outburst against Baltimore reached historical proportions Wednesday night in a 142 blowout that extended New York’s winning streak to eight games.

Urshela had a pair of tworun drives, and Higashioka totaled five RBIs with his two shots. It was the first career multihomer game for both players.

The Yankees have 11 players with multihomer games against Baltimore this season, breaking the record of 10 set by the Giants against the Dodgers in 1958.

“We’ve had a lot of guys coming through for us here,” manager Aaron Boone said.

Cameron Maybin also went deep for the Yankees, who tied a majorleague record with 16 home runs in a threegame series. New York has hit 52 homers against the Orioles this season, breaking its own mark of 48 against the Kansas City A’s in 1956.

The sensation that comes with being dominated in a lopsided threegame series reached a melting point for the lastplace Orioles in the fifth inning. After manager Brandon Hyde leaned over and said something to Chris Davis, the first baseman lurched in Hyde’s direction and had to be restrained by teammate Mark Trumbo and hitting coach Don Long.

“It was just a disagreement in the dugout. What was said, what we talked about, I’m not going to get into,” Hyde said.
