The Orioles (61-65) host the New York Yankees (70-55) at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Wednesday, having won five of their last ten games while dropping two straight. The Yankees arrive having won six of their last ten, including the series opener Tuesday night.
Baltimore fell 3-1 to New York in that opener, though Shane Baz gave the offense a chance, striking out 10 batters across 6.1 innings before allowing three earned runs. Coby Mayo provided the lone offensive spark, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run for the club's only run. Leody Taveras was the most productive hitter in the lineup at 2-for-4, while Albert Suárez and Josh Walker combined for 2.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
The Yankees sit near the top of the American League East, and their 70-55 record makes them one of the tougher outs Baltimore will face as the trade deadline long past continues to shape roster decisions for a club four games under .500. New York sends right-hander Will Warren to the mound, who carries an 8-6 record and a 4.42 ERA. Chris Bassitt (4-4, 5.11 ERA) takes the ball for Baltimore. A win Wednesday would even the three-game series and give the Orioles a chance to salvage a series split against one of the AL's better teams before Thursday's finale.
