The Baltimore Orioles must have thought that they had stand a good chance of winning after scoring early in the first inning but their hope was lost when a seventh-inning explosion by the yanks which saw them score seven runs and kill the game completely. Once again, it is no surprise that Mark Texiera and Alex Rodrigues came up with the good by batting almost half of the runs in. The win eysterday was the seventh straight recorded by the ney york club and they look to close the gap on leaders toronto with their long home stretch.

Baltimore have several good players on their lineup but their pitching has let them down manytimes this year and their seven runs cocnede by their bullpen on Tueday is another reason why they have struggled thus far. Although Phil Hughes will represent the bombers on the mound, I think the yankees will just outscore their opponents yet again but their victory will not be as clear cut as that of Tueday's.
