The Yankees Upcoming Schedule
The Yankees will play their final game of the four-game series on Thursday, April 14th at 7:05 p.m. ET. The Yankees will be looking to even the series.
On Friday, the Yankees will be playing a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles. Friday is Jackie Robinson Day, which is special for the sport of baseball and is celebrated every year.
The Orioles right now are 1-5 and last in the AL East. The Orioles are hoping to change things around. The Yankees are as well. They started the season 2-0, winning their first two games against their biggest rival, the Boston Red Sox.
It is still early in the season of course, but it doesn’t hurt to win. It seems that the AL East always has at least two teams in their division that are fighting for the playoffs every year.
So, will the Yankees go on a winning streak? Or will the Blue Jays take the series? Find out tomorrow night.
