What happened

The Yankees will send Will Warren to the mound in the Bronx when they take on the American League East rival Orioles on Friday night.

Why it matters

The right-hander struggled against Baltimore a year ago, but there’s reason to believe he’s a different pitcher than the last time he saw this club.

Common ground

In four outings against the Orioles last season, Warren gave up 11 earned runs in 20 innings — good for a 4.95 ERA — while allowing four home runs and walking seven batters.

Perspective signals
