After a bruising road trip, the Baltimore Orioles are desperate for a turnaround as they return to Camden Yards to host the division-leading New York Yankees. Monday night’s matchup opens a critical three-game series where Baltimore hopes to shake off a 1-5 stretch and rediscover the form they showed early in the season. Baltimore’s offense has been sputtering for over a week, scoring no more than three runs in their last seven games.

Marmol also highlighted the positive signs from Saturday’s performance, from effective small-ball play to clutch doubles. On the mound, right-hander Erick Fedde (1-2, 3.33 ERA) will start

The New York Yankees are facing a key question heading into Sunday’s doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays: who will close out games if a save situation arises? With Devin Williams struggling on the mound, the Yankees may be forced to reevaluate their bullpen strategy sooner than expected. Saturday’s game between the Yankees and Blue Jays was rained out, setting up a pivotal twin bill in New York. The Yankees will send left-hander Max Fried (4-0, 1.42 ERA) to the mound against Toronto’s Kevin Gausman (2-2, 3.16 ERA) in the opener. Clarke Schmidt (0-1, 7.45 ERA) will take the ball for the Yankees in Game 2, facing off against Blue Jays righty Chris Bassitt (2-1, 1.88 ERA). After a disheartening
