After all the talk about them not being able to beat teams over .500, the Yankees took care of business over this tough stretch. Skepticism be damned, the Bombers won three straight series, taking down the first place Twins, the home-run happy Mariners, and the first place Rays. Now, as a reward, they get to come home to face the last place Orioles, who happen to be on a four-game losing streak.
There’s not a lot of good to call out for Baltimore — a team whose record sits above only the lowly Marlins.
