Game Preview: New York Yankees @ Baltimore Orioles 4/15


The New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles wrap up their three game set tonight inside Camden Yards and Oriole Park with yet another great pitching matchup between the two ball clubs. On the mound for the Yankees will be Nathan Eovaldi making his second start in pinstripes while Bud Norris will be opposing him for the Orioles. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and of course MLB TV.

  • Eovaldi is coming off his first start as a Yankee after taking a no decision against the Boston Red Sox. Eovaldi started the 19 inning marathon between the Yankees and Red Sox and was pumped up for his first start in the Bronx. Eovaldi hit as high as 101 on the radar gun and hit 99 consistently but allowed eight hits and only had three swings-and-misses in the Yankees loss.


  • Norris is coming off his first start of the season in which he took the loss against the Toronto Blue Jays after failing to record an out in the fourth inning. Norris gave up eight runs on seven hits while lasting just 66 pitches against Toronto. Let’s hope that kind of performance is what we have in store for us tonight in Camden Yards.



The Yankees need all the victories they can get at this point in the season and the wins are all that much sweeter at the expense of an American League East foe. Let’s hope the Yankees can nail another one down and at least temporarily quiet the haters and the doubters while crawling back into the very early AL East division race. Eovaldi is someone I will be keeping an eye on all season long and I’m very excited for his second start in pinstripes, go Yankees!!!
