The blueprint on how to beat the New York Yankees has been missing from the Orioles' vault for so long. No matter what they tried, no matter how hard they battled, the result was usually frustration.
But on two consecutive nights here, the Orioles appeared to have discovered a formula. Get a gritty outing from a rookie starter, get several big outs from the resurgent bullpen, get enough clutch hits from an offense that is finding ways to beat teams without home runs, and suddenly the Yankees don't look so invincible.
