Live Updates: New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles

NEW YORK — On a beautiful evening in the Bronx, the Yankees will take on the Baltimore Orioles, opening their second series of the season.

On Sunday, New York fell to the Blue Jays, dropping their first three-game set of the year. Left-hander Jordan Montgomery gets the ball for the Bombers on Monday night against the Orioles, who swept the Red Sox in Boston over the weekend.

Before we get underway under the lights here at Yankee Stadium here are Monday's starting lineups, pitchers and some related reading.

New York Yankees

DJ LeMahieu 2B

Aaron Judge RF

Aaron Hicks CF

Giancarlo Stanton DH

Gleyber Torres SS

Gary Sánchez C

Jay Bruce 1B

Gio Urshela 3B

Clint Frazier LF

Jordan Montgomery SP

Giancarlo Stanton is back in the lineup for New York after getting a day off on Sunday. He's still in search of his first hit of the season. Jordan Montgomery makes his regular season debut, looking to carry success from spring training (0.90 ERA over 10 IP in three official spring training stats) into the regular season.

The Yankees have a 10-game winning streak against the Orioles (at Yankee Stadium). A win on Monday night would match their longest home winning streak ever against the Orioles (11 wins in-a-row from 4/21/55-5/11/56). Is the third-longest home winning streak by the Yankees over a single opponent at the current Yankee Stadium (since 2009), behind only a 17-game streak vs. Toronto from 9/19/12-7/25/14 and an active 11-game stretch vs. Boston since 8/2/19.

We're through seven frames and the Yankees are holding onto a 7-0 lead. Jordan Montgomery was taken out after his six shutout frames and right-hander Luis Cessa has been strong thus far out of the 'pen.
