BALTIMORE — If the Yankees can’t admit their season is in peril after what went down at Camden Yards on Saturday night, they need an intervention. With Gerrit Cole looking like a young Doc Gooden against a very bad Orioles lineup and the Yankees desperately needing a victory, their frigid bats and third baseman Thairo …

It turned out to be, in every way, the exact opposite of the narrative the Yankees wanted to craft Friday night. One young pitcher’s encore falling short of his debut.

BALTIMORE — It could have been worse, but it didn’t come close to being good. That sums up what the Yankees did at Camden Yards on Friday night, where they split a doubleheader against the awful Orioles. After eking out a 6-5 win in the opener that took nine innings, the Yankees were in position …

Aroldis Chapman planned to appeal his three-game suspension for zipping a 101-mph fastball behind the head of Tampa Bay’s Mike Brosseau, but former Yankees teammate Mark Teixeira believes MLB should have come down even harder on the flame-throwing closer. “He said his penalty was a little harsh. We all know he did it on purpose,” …

A home clubhouse celebration scene at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night would’ve been gauche. Also perfectly appropriate. And now that the Yankees can bid farewell to the dangerous Rays for the duration of this regular season, it’s time for a true character test: Will this 2020 group be remembered for doing anything besides validating the Rays’ …
