Tonight the New York Yankees squared off against the Baltimore Orioles in the middle game of a three game set, and boy was it a scorcher. At first pitch, the game time temperature was 97 degrees, making it the hottest night of the summer. It was a matchup that featured the Yankees ace Masahiro Tranaka (11-6, 3.73 ERA) against Kevin Gausman (2-6, 4.59 ERA)
Masahiro Tanaka retired the first 12 Orioles batters he faced in order before giving up a leadoff walk to Chris Davis in the top of the fifth inning.
