With two wins in hand already this week, the Yankees (48-38) trail the Orioles (49-35) by just two games in the AL East standings, and now, they’ll have a chance to bring it down to just one as they try to make it three in a row against the O’s to start this four-game set.
Taking the hill for the Yankees, 24-year-old rookie Randy Vásquez (1-1, 1.74 ERA) makes his third spot start in as many months, and ideally, it’ll be the last one before Carlos Rodón permanently occupies the floating rotation spot that Vásquez has shared with Jhony Brito so far this year.
