Watch FREE: O's aim to contain Yanks' bats

We’ve seen shades of 1998 in the Bronx this season, with the Yankees getting off to their best start since that history-making Bombers team. The Orioles will try to slow down New York’s juggernaut today, and you can watch it free in MLB.TV’s Free Game of the Day, presented by Napoleon, right now.

Amazingly, the only team that has dealt the Yankees a series loss this season is the Orioles, who hosted New York from April 15-17 and took two out of three games. Entering Thursday's finale against the O's, the Yankees have gone 23-4 since that series in Baltimore.

Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge homered twice against Baltimore on Tuesday to run his MLB-leading total to 14. Judge has been locked in at the plate for weeks, with 13 homers in his past 22 games.

Three of the first five hitters to record double-digit home runs this season play for the Yankees, with Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo joining Judge among the select Major Leaguers to go deep 10-plus times so far.

Bruce Zimmermann, who threw five scoreless innings in the Orioles’ win over the Yankees on April 17, gets the ball today. The left-hander is in the midst of a breakout season, having recorded a 2.72 ERA with 32 strikeouts and only three homers allowed in 36 1/3 innings.
