It's been a bumpy week for the New York Yankees, who got swept at Fenway Park by the Boston Red Sox and then lost the first three of a home series against the Los Angeles Angels — all while going more than three full games without scoring a single run. But the offense has shown signs of getting back on track, including a nine-run outburst in a win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday. With their lead in the AL East whittled down to just 1.5 games, New York will need to keep that momentum going in the series finale on Sunday as they take on the O's live on Roku.
Wait, what? Yes, you read that right: Sunday's game will be broadcast exclusively on the Roku Channel, as part of the streaming service's Sunday Leadoff package this season. For baseball fans with Roku already at their disposal, this is no big deal. For those who do not have access, though, it's bad news.
