Orioles manager Buck Showalter is forever reminding everyone that judgments are difficult to make based on September performances.
He wanted to see if Gabriel Ynoa, who dazzled the Tampa Bay Rays Sept. 21, could repeat his mastery. Unfortunately for the Orioles, the right-hander could not.
Ynoa allowed four runs on five hits in three innings as the Orioles lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-3, before 24,774 at PNC Park Sept. 27.
