The Yankees arrived in town after clinching an American League wild-card berth with a 4-1 win over Boston on Thursday night. It was the franchise's 10,000th regular-season victory.
This three-game series between AL East rivals runs through Sunday. The Yankees open postseason play Tuesday with a winner-take-all, wild-card matchup.
Baltimore was eliminated from contention earlier this week. The Orioles need a three-game sweep to avoid a losing season.
