MORGAN COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) - The family of Joker, a 2-year-old American Bully, was heartbroken when their dog went missing in a remote area outside of Wiggins back on March 7.

Old friends do in Orioles as Yankees take series with 5-3 win

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:54:24 GMT

Nestor Cortes barely had made it out of spring training when his monthslong tenure with the Orioles ended. Franchy Cordero didn’t even last that long.Both former members of the organization helped the New York Yankees take the first series of the season at Camden Yards with contributions in Sunday’s 5-3 rubber match, as Adley Rutschman’s four-hit day wasn’t enough to give Baltimore a series victory.Taken in the 2017 Rule 5 draft, Cortes made his first four major league appearances as an Oriole before being returned to New York. The left-hander has since dominated the Orioles, with his 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball Sunday leaving his ERA against them as 1.38 in eight outings, six of them starts.Half of his run support came from Cordero. Signed as a minor league free agent in December, Cordero was among the Orioles’ bevy of left-handed-hitting candidates this spring but opted out of his deal after hitting .413 with a 1.099 OPS in camp. Days later, the out...

Aaron Judge, Franchy Cordero take O’s deep in Yanks’ rubber game win

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:54:24 GMT

BALTIMORE — With his first two-homer day of the season — and the 28th of his career — Aaron Judge now leads the Yankees with four home runs.The outfielder’s first longball of Sunday’s game, a 5-3 rubber game win for the Yankees, took right-hander Tyler Wells to straightaway center field in the third inning for a solo shot. Judge seems to enjoy at-bats against the Orioles starter, as two of his 62 home runs in 2022 came against Wells on July 22 last year.But it was Orioles reliever Logan Gillaspie who surrendered Judge’s second blast, a liner to left field in the eighth.In addition to pacing the Yankees in homers, Judge is now tied for the team lead in RBI with seven.He shares that space with Franchy Cordero, who showed the Orioles that he can hit the ball hard during spring training. He spent the weekend reminding them of his capabilities — while wearing the Yankees’ road grays.Cordero raked for Baltimore during exhibition play, slashi...
