Yankees to start with Jhony Brito

After their bullpen faltered in the first game, the New York Yankees made a quick yet significant roster change. They have recalled right-handed pitcher Jhony Brito from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre to start Game 2 against the Orioles.

When Brito started for the first time this season, he helped his team achieve a shutdown of the Giants. The right-handed pitcher’s last game was Sunday against the San Francisco Giants. He went five innings and didn’t give up a run.
