The Yankees lost to the Orioles in a close game on Friday. The tables may be turned if Yankees starter Brito continues as he did in spring training and in his first start. The kid has shown excellent control, walking no one in the preseason and just 1 batter in his first start. He gave up 0 runs on just 2 hits over 5 innings. He'll face Irwin who who had a rocky first start and gave up more than his share of hits in his last 2 preseason starts. The Yankees have put up some big numbers against Irwin in the past. New York is getting much better results from their bullpen than the Orioles. They Yankees are hitting well for average but not yet for power. The O's are scoring runs at a good clip but have been allowing almost as many.

Look for Brito to continue his fine pitching and the Yankees to take it to Irwin and the Orioles pen. Yankees to win.
