Yankees hosting Old-Timers’ Day

-

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:

BRONX TALES: Old-Timers’ Day is always a special occasion at Yankee Stadium, and this year’s festivitie­s are set to feature Hall of Famers Whitey Ford and Reggie Jackson, along with first-timers Andy Pettitte, Jason Giambi and current Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The fun begins before New York takes on Tampa Bay. This marks the 72nd annual Old-Timers’ Day in the Bronx — Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb were among those in attendance at the very first one on Sept. 28, 1947, two days before the Yankees hosted the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series opener.

ASCENDING ASTROS: Houston has won 10 in a row overall, and the World Series champions aim to finish off a 10-0 road trip when Lance McCullers Jr. starts against the Royals.

OH THOSE O’S: The Orioles try to avoid a team-record 12th straight home loss when they face Miami. Baltimore has lost nine a row overall

HARDLY HARPER: Bryce Harper’s batting average has dropped to .221 after he went 0 for 4 and struck out twice Saturday at Toronto. The former MVP still leads the National League with 19 home runs.

REMEMBER ME? Yovani Gallardo, who has pitched for three different major league teams since leaving his hometown Rangers after the 2015 season, is expected to start for Texas at home against Colorado.
