Yankees Look to Even Series Against Orioles Amidst Early Season Struggles

Baltimore, MD — The New York Yankees aim to bounce back from a recent loss as they face the Baltimore Orioles tonight at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. After a late comeback fell short on Monday, the Yankees will look to even the three-game series against their AL East rivals.

Left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodón will take the mound for the Yankees. Rodón has shown promise in his latest two outings, delivering 13 innings without allowing an earned run and accumulating 17 strikeouts. His season ERA stands at 3.6, and he has demonstrated an impressive strikeout rate of 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings.

Despite his recent success, Rodón’s historical performance against the Orioles has been less than stellar, featuring a 5.58 ERA over seven career appearances, including two starts with an ERA exceeding 9.00 since joining the Yankees.

On the other side, Orioles pitcher Kyle Gibson makes his season debut. The veteran, 37, has been an innings-eater with a career ERA of 4.68 and is returning after signing a one-year deal during the offseason. Gibson has struggled historically against the Yankees, holding a 3-7 record in 13 starts with a 5.48 ERA.

The Yankees’ lineup features key players like Aaron Judge and newly acquired Cody Bellinger. The return of Ben Rice to the lineup aims to boost their offense. On the Orioles’ side, Jorge Mateo, Dylan Carlson, and Emmanuel Rivera are expected to step in as Rodón looks to continue his strong pitching.

Fans can catch the game at 6:35 p.m. EDT through various broadcasts, including YES Network and MASN, or via radio on WFAN and WBAL.
