Walk off to first in A.L East

Last week the Yankees swept the Baltimore Orioles to take control of first place in the A.L East. The first game got rained out the it was a short two game series. The Yankees are playing well as they lead the majors with most home runs by one team so far.

Game 2
The Orioles have a good young catcher as he was tested in the first inning as he threw out the quick Brett Gardner by 2 feet, the 2nd baseman was a foot or so off of second base. Alex Rodriguez still put up 3 runs in the inning on a three run blast to right field. The Yankees won 7-4

Game 3.
The Yankees sent the struggling Phil Hughes to the mound as he allowed 5 runs and was then put on the DL for dead arm. The Yankees were down 5-1 and ended up battling back ansd winning in 10 innings 6-5 on a Nick Swisher sac fly to right field.
