First pitch of Wednesday’s series finale against the New York Yankees was moved due to the potential for rain

When Rutschman made the leap to the majors, he demolished fastballs but struggled against breaking balls and off-speed pitches. That's changed in 2026.

It’s a big moment for Laurel Park, which has had its own storied history in the racing industry, dating back to opening day in October 1911.

It shapes up as a wide-open Preakness over the unfamiliar dirt at Laurel Park, which will host this year as a $400 million rebuild of Pimlico Race Course moves forward.

“It’s not enough, no,” trainer Brad Cox said. “A lot of the trainers that have the success at the top level with these 3-year-olds would tell you that you would like more than three weeks.”

“I don’t take it for granted, every single day,” Sherry said. “It’s been 20-something years here at this ballpark, but that young girl in me still remembers that field trip, and the feeling I had when I walked out on that field."

Baltimore’s pitching staff kept the offense close enough for Mayo’s one swing to be the difference, and it began with right-hander Brandon Young.

Basallo has been one of Baltimore’s best hitters. He has a .270 average and an .803 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

In a 14-horse field that’s without the top two Derby finishers and a Bob Baffert trainee who was expected to be a top contender, Iron Honor is now seen as the favorite.

The pup is set to appear at several games and community events throughout the season.

The 2026 Preakness will be something else entirely. This was always going to be a strange year, with Maryland’s signature race displaced to Laurel Park as a $400 million Pimlico rebuild rumbles forward.

Having the No. 1 pick imbues a franchise with hope. In a loaded draft, the crown jewel is BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, who wowed in his lone collegiate season with his tough shot making and growth as an on-ball playmaker.
