The New York Yankees’ visit to Baltimore has not been an easy one. After dropping another game to the Baltimore Orioles, which recently ended in a 4-2 defeat, they were finally able to grab a win. However, amidst the shaky start in Baltimore, Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn’t hitting the panic button just yet. Instead, he’s urging his team to adopt a forward-thinking approach.

Despite the New York Yankees beating the Orioles 2-0 at Camden Yards Wednesday, there seems to be some discontent among the Bronx Bombers. While Oswaldo Cabrera hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and the Yankees improved to 20-12, the Orioles fell to 19-11. However, the pressure of being in the AL East is catching up.

Aaron Boone’s words of wisdom show the New York Yankees’ intentions

That’s when manager Aaron Boone said modestly acknowledging the intensity that comes with every divisional matchup. “Anytime you’re playing in a division… you know these games get heavy,” he remarked. The Yankees and Orioles’ longstanding rivalry is not a secret. And with Baltimore’s recent surge, these games seem to carry even more weight.

But first of all, Boone isn’t taking the Orioles lightly. He acknowledges their progress. He even said, “You know what the Orioles have become over the last couple years… you got to play well.” The Orioles’ have earned respect with their recent successes, and Boone recognizes that his team needs to be sharp to secure victories.

The initial back-to-back losses to the Orioles have been undoubtedly frustrating despite their 2-0 win today. Nevertheless, Boone is choosing to see the bigger picture. He goes on to say something really inspiring, “It’s definitely nice and gives us a chance to salvage the series tomorrow.” With that, he has his focus on bouncing back and winning the next game.
