At 7:05, the Orioles will be taking on the vaunted New York Yankees to open up a three game set here at Camden Yards. Keeping much of their roster from last year intact, the Yankees are once again an offensive juggernaut. Taking the mound tonight for the Orioles is Brian Matusz, opposing Ivan Nova. Matusz will definitely be tested tonight by Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, and Nick Swisher, the thump in the Yankees order.
A big key this series for the Orioles pitchers is to get first pitch strikes. The Yankees are a VERY patient lineup from top to bottom and will make a pitcher work. This series brings excitement to Baltimore early in the season as the Orioles try to prove they are not just a pretender so far this season! It may finally be time for the shifting of the powers in the AL East. Tampa Bay has already risen and the Blue Jays are certainly capable of surprising some people. I say the Orioles use this series and make a statement; not only to the Yankees, but to ALL of Major League Baseball!
