For the second straight night, Dellin Betances (2-3, 3.04 ERA) struggled on the mound. After he replaced Yates to start the seventh, Adam Jones and Hyun Soo Kim led off the seventh with consecutive singles. The next batter, Manny Machado, hit a slow roller down the third base line, and Jones easily scored from third as Machado was thrown out at first. The Orioles took the lead for good and won the series opener, 6-5. Picture Credit: Greg Flume/Getty Images

Man, I can safely say I never thought I would type the name of this article a year ago. Not ever. Out of the three outfielders that were with the Yanks during the 2016 season, Hicks was by far the worst, and Brett Gardner was the best, mostly due to his Gold Glove defense.
