On Friday, the New York Yankees are playing the first two games of their series with the Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx.
The Yankees lost the first game by a score of 10-2.
They will have a chance to bounce back quick, as the second game started right after.

Ahead of the second game, the Yankees announced that they had signed Alexander Cornielle to the MLB roster.
They wrote (via X): “• Signed RHP Alexander Cornielle (#97) to a Major League contact and selected him to the active roster.”
Cornielle is in his first season with the Yankees’ organization.
He has yet to make his MLB debut.
Before the Yankees, he had also spent time in the Minor Leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers.
