NEW YORK — When John Means starts, it generally represents the Orioles’ best chance to win in a given turn through their rotation.
But despite another strong performance from their ace left-hander Friday night at Yankee Stadium, a 4-3 loss in 11 innings to the New York Yankees meant the Orioles have not won with Means on the mound since July 31, a six-start span.
After the Orioles (41-92) failed to capitalize on the runner automatically at second base in their half of the second extra inning, Giancarlo Stanton scored New York’s with a single up the middle to lead off the bottom of the 11th off Dillon Tate.
