Let’s chalk it up to revenge from Torpedo-gate .
A new series begins today in Baltimore, as the Yankees look to keep beating up on the subpar teams that populate the American League, as they did to the Orioles in a historic four-game sweep last week in the Bronx. Ryan Weathers makes his return to the mound for the Yankees after being scratched from his last start against the Texas Rangers due to an illness. In his first seven starts as a Yankee, he’s 2-2 with a 3.
03 ERA (140 ERA+) and 3. 58 FIP with 45 strikeouts in 38. 2 innings.
Weathers will get another crack at an Orioles lineup that he dominated for five innings in his last start before unraveling with a five-run lead in the sixth (although two runs were unearned due to an error). He’s already thrown more innings than he did last year! The merry-go-round of the Orioles’ rotation continues with Brandon Young making his fifth start of the season tonight at Camden Yards.
