Yankees' starter German, off a rare perfect game, has pitched well at times this year, however he gave up 17 runs over just 5+ innings in his previous two starts. His ERA for June including that no,no,no was 5.67, and his ERA in the first inning this season is 6.60. German will face Tyler Wells today. He has been very sound in June (3.00 ERA), averaging 5+ innings a start and allowing just 2 earned runs in each of his last five appearances. Both of these teams have solid bullpens, performing well in recent games.

The 5-5 (50%) in their last ten-Yankees are hitting better than they were, climbing back to 14th in OPS over their last 7 games. The Orioles bats are last in the league in OPS and BA over their last 7 games, but this is not a weak-hitting team. The Orioles took two of three games in the last Baltimore/NY series. It is very common for any pitcher to follow a no-hitter with a poor start. Look for the Orioles to kick-start their offense today , show up German, and steal this game on the road.
