AL East Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles conclude their weekend series from Camden Yards. Last night, Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove in two runs to power the Yankees to an 8-5 victory. New York is 20 games above .500 overall and leads Boston by a game for the division lead.
Twenty-five year old righty Domingo German (0-3 5.45 ERA) will make his fifth start of the year for the Yankees. German has lost consecutive starts and has given up nine runs over his last nine plus innings of work.
The Baltimore Orioles enter this game looking to snap a seven game losing streak. On Saturday, Baltimore committed three errors and SP Kevin Gausman was tagged for six runs in five plus innings. Manny Machado connected on his 18th long ball in a losing effort for the last place Orioles.
Thirty-year old righty Alex Cobb (1-7 6.80 ERA) has gotten off to a disastrous start for the Orioles. Through 46 plus innings, Cobb has surrendered nine home runs and owns a terrible 1.81 WHIP.
