On Tuesday night, the New York Yankees will open up a series with the Orioles in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Yankees had the day off on Monday.
They are coming off a series where they dropped two out of three games to the Toronto Blue Jays (in Canada).
That said, they avoided a sweep by winning 4-3 on Sunday.
Gary Phillips of NY Daily News Sports wrote (on Sunday): “It wasn’t pretty. Or easy. But the #Yankees managed to beat the #BlueJays, 4-3, in 10 innings and avoided a sweep in Toronto.”

Brian is in the middle of his first season at the Triple-A level.
He has been good, going 0-0 with a 3.44 ERA in 16 games (one start).
Looking At Brian
Brian was picked in the 10th round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Eastern Kentucky.
He has spent five seasons at the Minor League level (all with the Yankees).
The 27-year-old is an intriguing piece of pitching depth for the organization.
