Where?

Sarasota Florida where New York is going to take on Baltimore in a spring training game!

The team that wears the pinstripes comes into their spring training game with Baltimore with a record of 1-1

Why?

Because on Monday New York topped Detroit by a score of 5-4 in Gerrit Cole’s inaugural start of the spring where the right handed pitcher was nicked the right-hander for one run on three hits, including Niko Goodrum’s RBI single to right field. Cole issued a two-out walk on a full-count pitch to Riley Greene, but he pinned the bases loaded by striking out Jake Rogers on a slider that manager Aaron Boone said looked “really good.”

Baltimore meanwhile comes into their spring training game with New York with a record of 0-1!

Why?
