The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees will resume their AL East rivalry on Tuesday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is at 7:05 p.m. ET.
Baltimore (31-16 SU and 31-16 RL) is starting right-hander Kyle Bradish tomorrow. The 26-year-old is 2-1 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in seven outings.
New York (29-20 SU and 28-21 RL) is countering with its ace, Gerrit Cole. The 32-year-old righty is 5-0 with a 2.01 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in ten starts.

Baltimore is red-hot following a three-game road sweep of division foe Toronto. Now only 2.5 games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East standings, is B-More primed to move past TB?

Bradish gets the start for the O's in game one. He's coming off consecutive quality starts against Pittsburgh (zero earned runs and three hits in 6.0 innings) and the LA Angels (one earned run on four hits in 6.2 innings). Bradish, who has a 29:10 K:BB ratio in 2023, faced the Yanks twice last season, surrendering four runs in a losing effort and no earned runs in a five-inning no-decision.
