The New York Yankees are gearing up to host division rivals the Baltimore Orioles for the second game of the series on Wednesday. An intense battle at the Yankee Stadium on Tuesday saw the Bronx Bombers take a 1-0 lead in the series at the cost of skipper Aaron Judge's injury.
Judge's availability for the second game of the series remains a doubt despite the slugger avoiding a major injury. Gleyber Torres was also hit by a pitch later in the game. Yankees fans were furious to see their players take it for the team, but a victory against the Orioles was a strong message. The Yanks won with a 4-2 final score and will be keen on securing the series.
Game 2 will have reigning Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole make his season debut. Rookie Left-handed pitcher Cade Povich will start for the Orioles. The Orioles offense, who had a quiet night in the series opener against Nestor Cortes, will need to back their young ace against Gerrit Cole.
