The New York Yankees will aim to bounce back after a rare slip in their weekend series against the Colorado Rockies, following a narrow 3-2 loss in Friday night’s opener. While the Yankees are maintaining momentum in the American League East, the Rockies are fighting to avoid making unwanted baseball history.

Orlando City SC and the Portland Timbers will both look to rebound from U.S. Open Cup exits when they meet in MLS play Saturday night in Central Florida. Orlando (6-2-6, 24 points) suffered a 3-2 home loss to Nashville SC on Wednesday in the Open Cup Round of 16.

But the victory came at a cost: Golden Boot winner Christian Benteke exited the match early due to an ankle injury. While Benteke has since returned, he remains banged up, though he

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester is set to face his former team for the first time as the Brewers continue their four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon at PNC Park. Priester (1-2, 4.66 ERA), a first-round draft pick by the Pirates in 2019, was traded to the Boston Red Sox last year before being acquired by the Brewers in April. Since joining Milwaukee, the 24-year-old has shown improvement, including a season-high 5 1/3 innings pitched in his latest outing against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two in a 5-4 Brewers victory. Milwaukee is looking for Priester to provide length on Saturday, especially after both teams utilized multiple
