Those Dang Yankees

The Orioles' winning streak came to a halt on Monday night, as they fell to the Yankees 4-1.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched a great game, but allowed four runs in the fourth inning, three coming off a home run from the number nine batter in the Yankees order, an .077 hitter who had not seen a ball clear the fence this season...(with that average, he probably hadn't seen a ball pass through the infield this season, either).

The only Oriole to put a run on the board was Matt Wieters, whose second inning solo-shot put the Birds up 1-0.

Both teams managed six hits, but the Yankees strung them together when it mattered, putting the O's in the loss column and denying Guthrie his first win of the season.

The O's send Brian Matusz to the mound for Tuesday nights' game...

Honestly, if the O's can win just one game against the Yankees this series, I will be MORE THAN happy...no one would have expected this team to go 6-6 against Boston and New York in a horrific 12-game stretch.

Let's Go, O's!
