The Yankees have now won five straight games including a four-game sweep against the Boston Red Sox and will try to continue their streak in Baltimore. Gleyber Torres, who has been an Orioles killer this year, will make the trip down with the team after avoiding the injured list. In this series the Yankees could take advantage of a weaker Orioles team as they attempt to distance themselves from the Tampa Bay Rays as much as they have the Red Sox.
Gio Urshela will be on the bench today, understandably so after fouling two pitches off his legs yesterday.
