New York Yankees (69-55) at Baltimore Orioles (61-64) — Game Preview
The New York Yankees (69-55) visit the Baltimore Orioles (61-64) at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on August 18, 2026 with New York six games back and Baltimore 14.5 games back in the American League East. The Yankees carry a 3.26 team ERA into the series, well below Baltimore’s 4.24 mark, even as the Orioles have out-homered New York 133 to 122 as a club this year. Ben Rice has anchored the Yankees’ lineup from designated hitter, hitting .251 with 33 home runs and 78 RBIs this season.
Baltimore counters with Pete Alonso at first base, who is hitting .267 with a .361 on-base percentage and has driven in 81 runs on 28 home runs. Luis García Jr. gives New York a second power source at first base with 24 home runs and a .541 slugging percentage, while Gunnar Henderson has matched much of that pop for Baltimore with 20 home runs and a .401 slugging mark at shortstop. New York continues to play without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger, all sidelined by injury, which leaves Rice and García carrying more of the offensive load.

Players to Watch: New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — DH. Rice has turned into the Yankees’ primary power threat at designated hitter, hitting .251 with 33 home runs and 78 RBIs this season. His .344 on-base percentage and .533 slugging mark reflect a hitter doing damage in every part of the strike zone this year.
Luis García Jr. — 1B. At first base, García Jr. is putting together a big season for New York, batting .278 with 24 home runs and 79 RBIs. His .541 slugging percentage edges out Rice’s .533 mark, giving the Yankees a second big bat in the middle of the order.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. — 2B. Chisholm Jr. brings a different look to the lineup from second base, hitting .216 with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs this season. His .295 on-base percentage sits below Rice’s .344 and García’s .310, but his power still forces opposing pitchers to pick their spots in the middle innings.
Baltimore Orioles
Pete Alonso — 1B. Alonso anchors the Baltimore infield at first base, hitting .267 with 28 home runs and 81 RBIs this season. His .361 on-base percentage and .496 slugging mark give the Orioles a steady power source at the top of the order.
Gunnar Henderson — SS. Henderson provides pop from shortstop, batting .222 with 20 home runs and 51 RBIs this season. His .401 slugging percentage sits behind only Alonso’s .496 mark among Baltimore’s regulars.
Coby Mayo — 3B. Mayo gives Baltimore a third power bat at third base, hitting .213 with 16 home runs and 46 RBIs this season. His .436 slugging percentage far outpaces his .213 batting average, a sign that most of his production comes in the extra-base column.
