Around the AL East, Week 2: The Orioles remain on top

The Orioles finally lost a few games, including a decidedly un-fun one on Saturday night, which hasn't stopped them from staying atop the AL East another week.

There aren't many bad days that end up with the Orioles in first place at the end of the day. Despite losing their undefeated record with a 2-3 stretch of games, the O's are still in first place in the division. The competition is chasing them. That's all you can ever really ask.

Actually, that's not really true, because really what would be good is if the Orioles bank winnable games so they have a cushion to overcome their shaky starting pitching.
