The New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles will be back
at it again tonight in the Bronx with a special Saturday night edition of their
new rivalry. The Yankees love their Saturday afternoon games, and truth be told
I do too, but tonight these two teams will face off in prime time on FOX. In
the matchup the Yankees will send Luis Severino to the mound, the future is
now, while the Orioles will counter with Chris Tillman, the now was a couple
years ago apparently.
Severino heads into tonight’s start on a streak of having
thrown three straight quality starts including a victory 11 days ago against
these same Baltimore Orioles. In Severino’s last start the right-hander took a
no-decision against the Toronto Blue Jays despite allowing just two runs in
seven innings.
Tillman missed the first month of the 2017 season on the
disabled list and has spent the rest of the season trying to work himself back
into the groove, a trend that hopefully continues tonight. Tillman has not won
a game since his first start on May 7, five straight starts without a victory,
so it is the Yankees mission tonight to push that to six straight if at all
possible.
The game will be played at 7:15 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on FOX. I believe when FOX is involved that the games are blacked
out everywhere else including MLB TV but I cannot swear to that either way.
Anyway you should still be able to follow along in your cars and on the radio
with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WFAN.
Enjoy the game, beat the O’s and as always…. Go Yankees!
