07/31: Yanks Beat Orioles 13-3 to End Losing Streak
Posted by: Seamus
If you're a Yankee fan, you had to feel good going into this one, with Joba Chamberlain on the mound facing Dennis Sarfate. Joba Chamberlain delivered another good outing and the Yankees' bats pounded on the O's en route to a 13-3 victory that ended their losing streak at 3. The Red Sox lost yet again to the Angels, so the Yankees moved back within a game of Boston for the A.L. wild card lead.
Joba was solid again, this time going six innings and allowing two runs on five hits and striking out six. Chamberlain improved his record to 4-3, and the Yankees are now 8-3 in games that he's started this season.
The Yankees took advantage of the Orioles' bullpen, as they scored four runs in both the 6th and 7th innings to account for eight of the Yankees' 13 runs in the game. Bobby Abreu lead the way with two homers and 3 RBI. Alex Rodriguez and Xavier Nady also drove in two apiece.
The Yankees will face the MLB-best Angels tonight for the first time this season. The Yanks have ten games remaining with the Angels this season (that's almost 1/5 of the schedule), so let's hope they don't share the same ill fate as their A.L. East rivals, as the Red Sox have lost 9 straight against Los Angeles (of Anaheim?). Andy Pettitte will be on the mound and his counterpart will be the Angels' Jon Garland. Game starts at 7:05 ET.
