Nothing seems to faze the Baltimore Orioles these days.
The first-place Orioles will try to put more distance between themselves and the American League East's last-place team, the New York Yankees, when the teams meet Saturday night in Baltimore.Baltimore won series opener 1-0 on Friday when Santander belted a walk-off home run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. The teams waited through more than a 2 1/2-hour delay prior to the first pitch, and the game ended after midnight.
"Tough after a long night here," New York manager Aaron Boone said. "But we have to get back on the horse and get after it."Boone said that Judge, who played Friday night for the first time since June 3, could be in right field on Saturday. Judge went 0-for-1 with three walks as a designated hitter in his first game back. He had been sidelined due to a torn ligament in his right big toe.
"Love the way Mountie is swinging the bat since he has gotten back," said Baltimore manager Brandy Hyde, who used the duo in the Nos. 4 and 5 spots in the lineup. "It's a nice little combination there."The Yankees will have right-hander Clarke Schmidt as their starting pitcher on Saturday. He is aiming for his fifth consecutive victory and hasn't been pinned with a loss since June 6.
