- Orioles ace Trevor Rogers started strong but left after two innings, while the Yankees bullpen combined for seven scoreless innings.
- The Yankees offense struggled, managing only four hits total and going hitless for a six-inning stretch, partly due to facing strong Orioles pitching.
- The Yankees will host the Tigers in their spring home opener, with Aaron Judge expected to play right field and pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange starting.
