Including tonight, the Yankees have 45 games left this season. Ten of those 45 will be played against the Orioles. The Yankees are six games back of Baltimore in the AL East, and they have intentions of winning the division, the head-to-head matchups are there for them to make up ground. They have to start winning them though. The O’s have won two of three in each of the first three series these clubs have played this year. That has to stop. Here is the Orioles lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- SS Derek Jeter
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- DH Carlos Beltran
- 3B Chase Headley
- 2B Stephen Drew
- RF Martin Prado
- C Frankie Cervelli
LHP Chris Capuano
It’s cloudy and humid in Baltimore, and there is rain in the forecast later tonight. Once it starts, it’s supposed to continue right through until tomorrow morning, so we might be in for another one of those five-inning games these two teams had right before the All-Star break. Get the lead early, I guess. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin just after 7pm ET and you can watch on YES. Enjoy.
Updates: In case you missed it earlier, Michael Pineda will indeed return to the rotation and start Wednesday’s series finale … Bryan Mitchell has been sent down and Chris Leroux was called up to give the team a fresh long man.
