The Baltimore Orioles might be a below-average side in MLB. But they certainly know a thing or two about how to beat the Yankees. They remain the only MLB side to defeat the Yankees in a series.

The Orioles give a befitting reply to Aaron Judge

During the 2022 off-season, the Orioles made a few changes to their left-field wall in the Camden Yards. They shifted the left-field wall 30-foot farther from the home plate and also increased the height of the wall by 5-foot. So it is quite obvious if Aaron Judge had difficulties hitting a home run to the left-field.
