Here is a bit of trivial trivia:  With their 2-1 tonight against the Orioles, the  Yankees have now won 3 consecutive games by the score of 2-1.  They are the 7th team since 1954 to have such a streak. This includes the San Diego Padres of last year who actually won 4 consecutive games by that score . Here are the teams:
