The Yankees and Orioles are tied for the lead in the AL East. That's just great! I know that the Yankees aren't worried, but I sure as heck am.The Yankees were down (4-0) in the 1st inning and were down (6-1) by the 6th, when Orioles 1st basemen Mark Reynolds hit a shot off of Joba Chamberlain. Joba is (0-0) on the season with a 8.71 ERA in 10.1 innings and is officially my least favorite Yankee. (I think I say this every other month)
The Yankees had a late rally with 5 runs in the top of the 8th to tie the game at (6-6). Ichiro Suzuki went (3-4) with 2 RBIs on a late single in the 8th to bring in Curtis Granderson and Russell Martin. They were quickly let down in the bottom of the 8th when the Orioles had a 4 run inning on 3 home runs.
The Yankees have 25 games left, facing AL East teams 19 of them. To say that the Yankees should be worried is an understatement. One positive is that Alex Rodriguez, who just returned off the Disabled List, went (1-4) batting, with 1 walk and 1 RBI. His one hit came on a deep double to center scoring Nick Swisher. Now that they have A-Rod back, maybe he can help get some life back into these Yankee bats.
