The Yankees, chasing a top wild-card spot, face the resurgent Orioles in a key AL East matchup.

The New York Yankees, tied for the AL East lead, seek their sixth straight win against the playoff-contending Baltimore Orioles, who have won 14 of their last 22 games despite a 75-84 record. The Yankees, riding a 22-10 run, are focused on securing a top wild-card spot or division title, highlighted by Aaron Judge’s .330 batting average and Giancarlo Stanton’s go-ahead hit in a recent sweep of the White Sox. The Orioles, missing key rookies, rallied past the Rays with a walk-off homer by Dylan Beavers. Trevor Rogers (1.42 ERA in 3 career starts vs. NY) faces Will Warren in the series opener, as both teams aim to strengthen their playoff positioning.
