It was an ugly weekend in Milwaukee<\/a> for the Yankees, as they suffered their second series sweep of the season at the hands of a stout Brewers<\/a> team that overwhelmed them with some sensational pitching and out-executed them late in games. Let\u2019s chalk it up to revenge from Torpedo-gate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A new series begins today in Baltimore, as the Yankees look to keep beating up on the subpar teams that populate the American League, as they did to the Orioles in a historic four-game sweep<\/a> last week in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Ryan Weathers makes his return to the mound for the Yankees after being scratched from his last start against the Texas Rangers<\/a> due to an illness. In his first seven starts as a Yankee, he\u2019s 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA (140 ERA+) and 3.58 FIP with 45 strikeouts in 38.2 innings. Weathers will get another crack at an Orioles lineup that he dominated for five innings in his last start before unraveling with a five-run lead in the sixth (although two runs were unearned due to an error). He\u2019s already thrown more innings than he did last year!<\/p>\n

The merry-go-round of the Orioles\u2019 rotation continues with Brandon Young<\/a> making his fifth start of the season tonight at Camden Yards. He\u2019s improved considerably from his disastrous 12 starts in 2025, pitching to a 4.35 ERA and 4.81 FIP in 20.2 innings with just 14 strikeouts to eight walks. Three of his four starts have been perfectly adequate for the O\u2019s, but he does have a late April blowup against the Astros<\/a> on his ledger.<\/p>\n

Young\u2019s peripherals are mostly below average, particularly his strikeout and whiff rates. He does a good job getting hitters to chase and is solid at limiting barrels, but he gives up too much hard contact for him to be an effective starter. Against lefties, the 27-year-old is a pretty even two-pitch pitcher with fastballs and splitters, but he mixes in considerably more sliders and sinkers against righties with the occasional curveball. The splitter has gotten absolutely hammered in the early going, which doesn\u2019t serve him well against a lefty-heavy lineup.<\/p>\n

Trent Grisham<\/a> leads off for the Yankees in front of Ben Rice<\/a>, Aaron Judge<\/a>, and Cody Bellinger<\/a>. Ryan McMahon<\/a> has been swinging a hot bat lately and slides up to sixth, as Spencer Jones DHs and bats seventh. Max Schuemann<\/a> is in for Jos\u00e9 Caballero<\/a>, who suffered a finger injury<\/a> and is due to be evaluated tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Taylor Ward<\/a> leads off for Baltimore, followed by the slumping Gunnar Henderson<\/a>, Adley Rutschman<\/a>, and the warming Pete Alonso<\/a>. They\u2019d love to get Tyler O\u2019Neill going in the five-hole, while continuing to get production from Samuel Basallo<\/a> and Leody Taveras<\/a> behind him. Weston Wilson<\/a> and Blaze Alexander<\/a> round out the lineup.<\/p>\n
