The New York Yankees’ dominance continued last night, after they knocked off the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, 5-4, and took the first two games of their 4-game set. With last night’s win, New York improved to 27-9, which is the best record in the Majors. Expect more of the same tonight when Gerrit Cole takes the hill for the visitors. Cole is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA and the Yanks are 5-0 in his last 5 starts. Jordan Lyles will take the mound for the 14-23 Orioles. Lyles is 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA. He was lit up the last time he faced New York on April 26th, yielding 6 runs on 7 hits over 4-2/3 innings of work and the Yankees went on to win, 12-8. The Bombers have won 5 straight against the Orioles and after tonight it will be 6.
