Per *Baltimore Sun* beat reporter Jacob Calvin Meyer, the O’s have had an exactly .500 record nine times this season. If they want to make tonight the 10th time, they’ll need to best a Yankees team that is 8-2 in their last game and are a game and half up on the Rays for the best record in the AL. Looking to get the O’s back in the win column is recently recalled left-hander Cade Povich. The southpaw has been sharp in his two previous MLB starts this season, limiting the Pirates to two runs over 5.2 innings in his season debut, before 6.2 innings of one-run ball on his 26th birthday against the Giants. In Povich’s only previous start in Yankee Stadium, he delivered a solid line of 4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB and 5 K in a game the Orioles went on to win in extra innings. Limiting the long ball will be the key to the Orioles’ lefty navigating this potent Yankees offense. New York is only 25th in all of baseball with .213 average against LHPs while also having the sixth-worst strikeout rate. However, when they do make contact off southpaws it tends to be loud. They lead MLB with 18 HRs off lefties, while also ranking eighth with a .420 slugging percentage. Povich’s career 1.4 HR/9 against the Bronx Bombers is on the high side, but its free passes that have often caused him the most trouble against New York. In 19.2 IP against the Yankees, Povich has issued 17 walks. The Yankees counter Povich with a 26-year-old of their own, as right-hander Will Warren will toe the rubber first tonight in the Bronx. In four starts against the O’s last year, it was a mixed bag for Warren. He put up a worrying 4.95 ERA across 20 innings against Baltimore last year. However, the Yankees did win both of his starts in New York against the Orioles, including an 8-4 win in Warren’s final start of 2025. The O’s went 4-9 last year against the Yankees after winning the season series in both 2023 and 2024. If Baltimore wants to return to the playoffs in 2026, they need to beat good teams like New York, and they get their first opportunity tonight in Yankee Stadium.
