Preview
The Yankees will round off a three-game series against AL East-division rivals the Baltimore Orioles tonight at Oriole Park. The Yankees lead the series 2-0 after two comfortable wins on Tuesday and Wednesday. They still control their run to the playoffs by occupying the 2nd and final Wild Card slot. They'll look to wrap up the series and notch their 4th win in a row tonight. The Orioles were the first team eliminated from playoff contention and are only aiming to take down a division rival on its path to the postseason. It's proving to be a hard task as the Orioles have now lost five on the trot.
