The New York Yankees look to keep a lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East on Tuesday when they host the Boston Red Sox in the second to last game of the season. If the Yankees win and the Orioles lose to the Tampa Bay Rays, New York would clinch the AL East title.
The Yankees have shuffled the order their lineup for Tuesday's game.
