Towns seemed to really love the Bombers and enjoyed his experience at the game. He was able to interact with Judge and even got one of the Yankees captain’s bats as a gift. Furthermore, his first pitch seemed to be a lucky charm as the New York-based team got the win 6-5 against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Yankees lost the second game of the series
Although the Yankees have been in great form, they lost the second game of the series. They led for a large portion of the game, but a pitching meltdown allowed the Orioles to come back and win. With this, the Bombers will look to win the final game of the series before hosting the San Diego Padres. It will be interesting to see how the Yankees play and whether they can close the home series with a win.
