The Orioles will try to avoid back-to-back sweeps and snap a six-game losing streak this afternoon with Baltimore native Bruce Zimmermann on the mound.

Zimmermann has posted a 2.72 ERA and 1.211 WHIP in seven starts, with only three home runs surrendered in 36 1/3 innings. He’s already faced the Yankees twice this season, shutting them out over five innings in Baltimore and allowing three earned runs (four total) and seven hits in 4 1/3 in the Bronx.

Austin Hays was 0-for-18 before doubling twice and singling last night. He’s the leadoff hitter today with Cedric Mullins out of the lineup.

Assuming it’s a rest day, but we’ll check.

Ryan McKenna is playing center field in manager Brandon Hyde’s right-handed lineup. Ramón Urías is the designated hitter and Chris Owings is the second baseman.

Trey Mancini is batting .375 (21-for-56) with two home runs and six RBIs since May 3. He’s at first base today.

Jorge López hasn’t allowed an earned run in his last 13 appearances over 15 2/3 innings.

Left-hander Jordan Montgomery has registered a 3.06 ERA and 1.075 WHIP in seven starts, with only three home runs surrendered in 35 1/3 innings. He’s faced the Orioles twice this season and allowed two runs in 10 2/3 innings.

Yankees starting pitchers have allowed three earned runs or fewer in 35 of their 37 games.
