BALTIMORE — Gerrit Cole didn’t have his sharpest stuff Wednesday night, but he really didn’t need it. The Yankees bats were not as loud as they have been, but it didn’t matter. It was enough to beat the Orioles, 3-2, at Camden Yards Wednesday night.

NEW YORK — On the surface, it merely was a split doubleheader on a long, cold, windy Sunday in early May.
